Still, the puzzle of influence remains worth studying. As a tool, no HR professional can get their work done without knowing how to utilize influence. That’s what people in staff positions do.

Top 25 Online Influencers in Recruiting v3.0 "…The people who are influential in social media are influential among themselves. That's not that different from other trend setting demographics.

With a number of books under her belt and ten years as a newspaper reporter, Clegg is pretty great at breaking free from those limitation.
