Thought kindling insights.

Here are my $0.2 cents of additions:

1) Selflessness – get your plans aligned with the needs of all others and your selflessness pays off.

2) Passion – towards what you are doing. It holds you up in critical time and in good time, boosts you to run an extra mile.

3) Execution – keeps the ball moving.

Best,
Utpal

Great read! Social media is most often seen only as a set of tools for an individual or tactics for a company. We often forget the context that has given birth to it. Focusing on the mindset needed in understanding and using social media is refreshing.

Love the comments from Jeff and would also like to add one more: reflection. I think amidst the constant flow of the social web, a lot of us respond with speed first: value and status is placed on being the first one to retweet or post or react to the latest piece of news or idea. I think it’s more important to make sure to take the time to pause and reflect on conversations; give them time to take root in our minds and make them more meaningful. This is essential in creating compelling content and feeding back to this ecosystem of conversations.

Clever, creative, conduit and catalyst. That’s how I would describe you and your writing!

Here are 6 More Social Media Mindsets I would add to your list:
1) Chi – we all could use a little life force in our social media endeavors.
2) Collaborative – it’s not an island, lone wolf, black masked lone ranger environment. Bring a mindset of collaborating with others.
3) Context – there needs to be the place the content is shared as well as the bigger picture of the conversation and community. It’s about the facts or circumstances surrounding the discourse
4) Connections – it’s about the emotional and the social connections you have with others both in quality and quantity.
5) Creator and Co-Creator – everyone can be a creator of content which can be as simple as sharing their own experiences or as complex as working with others for knowledge co-creation
6) Cumulative Value – It’s about the entire cumulative affect of all these mindsets working together.
