Steve Tylock on the LinkedIn Personal Trainer Blog described the importance of LinkedIn Groups. He did a survey and found that one-third of individuals responding belonged to 26-50 groups, and just a handful didn’t belong to any groups.

You’re probably a member of the Vistage Group in the US, or the Canadian TEC Group, or the group for whatever country you host your physical group in. If you’re reading this post, your also a member of the Group I run for Chairs on How to Leverage Social Media to Find and Attract Potential Members.

We did a previous session in our Chair e-Course about leveraging groups in your local community, territory, or city. If you took the Chair e-course or are currently enrolled, did you add valuable groups in your local area that might contain potential CEOs?

Here is a small snippet of what Steve had to say about LinkedIn Groups:

Useful

That’s the word of the day – no matter how you intend to use LinkedIn, belonging to relevant groups is useful.

They help research, connect, and promote – and while you might not want to do any of that today, it’s not necessary to do anything until you’re ready.
