One word every elected official should learn from Scott Brown
Scott Brown, Senator-elect from Massachusetts was interviewed this morning on The Today Show by Meredith Vieira. Â As I listened to the interview one word delivered by Senator-elect Brown got my attention. The word was “transparency”.
It’s a word we use a lot in social media marketing. Â We urge our clients to be transparent in everything they do. Â To be honest and create remarkable, innovative products or services. Â Great stuff that others will talk about.
Here’s what Brown said:
“People are angry. Â They are tired of the back-room deals they want transparency, they want good government, they want fairness and they want people to start working and solving their problems.”
I hope for the people of Massachusetts and the rest of the world that Senator Elect Brown reflects on those words often. Â I hope that quote becomes the mantra not only for businesses, but for every elected official.
You can see the entire interview on The Today Show website.
