		<description>Agree, of course, with the need to build a SM team, and about the danger when it&#039;s left in the hands of one only person (not just because collective minds enrich contributions but also in order to prevent what may happen if that person leaves). And as @scrappinmichele said “you can’t be social with only one person”.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;That said, reality, as usual, is far away from ideal. Faced to the situation of not having Social Media presence whole you succeed in embarking all staff, it’s a pragmatic decision just to start entering in SM even as a solo player, and building up from there, engaging first those few more motivated, younger or communicative people and step by step making the whole organisation aware of the potential and importance of being active on SM. It takes time and some “evangelizing” work. Excuses arise: don’t have the time, it’s not our priority, what worthy contributions will we get from users? Often, people despise what they don’t know well. Overcoming fear and prevention is a hard task, but it’s really worth the effort. In the meantime, I think it’s better let’s start right now.&lt;br&gt;So we did (&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.bcn.cat/museupicasso/en/get-involved/online-community.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://www.bcn.cat/museupicasso/en/get-involved...&lt;/a&gt; )&lt;br&gt;Now, after 6 months of Social Media active presence,  and having become sort of a 2.0 reference among museums in my country, we are on the phase of trying to get real engagement of some more inside people. I know we will, the only thing is... why does it take so much time and energy to seduce them? &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Conxa&lt;br&gt;@innova2</description>

		<description>You post was great today -- I feel fortunate that at Sodexo it is a team sport - we have 50+ recruiters and all of them using one social networking site or another - some are using just one some are using 3 or 4 but we all work together to create a dynamic environment for past, present and future employees.  At Sodexo social media IS a team sport!</description>

		<description>Totally agree. The challenge is companies want a quick fix, have no clue how to implement it, and they start by hiring the one person. Training, adoption, and embracing social media across departments should follow next... sometimes it does, often times it does not.</description>

		<description>I couldn&#039;t agree more and would like to suggest this springs from the misguided focus on the tools vs the challenge those tools might address. The teams all have a clear focus: winning. If a leader can be clear about the &quot;win&quot;, then the &quot;many hands&quot; of the organization can work together to create a systems approach when using social media tools. The virtual system can be channeled and it&#039;s full potential brought to bear. Clarity around the challenge comes first, then focus on the tools that will meet that challenge.</description>
