THE MEDIA SAVVY LEADER profiles some of today's most recognized executives who know the competitive importance of personally taking charge of communicating the vision, brand, and reputation of their organizations-and their own value, as leaders. In THE MEDIA SAVVY LEADER, David Henderson reveals how to shape information, deliver messages, and enhance brand recognition in the changing media landscape and the online digital revolution.- Mark Cuban, billionaire entrepreneur & chairman of HDNet Television, says, "In the Internet age, executives have to learn how to shape information about themselves and their companies, or the Internet will do it for them, and it won't be pretty." - Ted Leonsis, Vice Chairman Emeritus of AOL & Owner of Washington Capitals, says, "To be an effective leader today, you must reach the hearts and minds and keyboards and eyeballs of your consumers and employees in a way that is true, authentic, and meaningful.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Book on Media Relations for 2009 January 12, 2009
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book is absolutely a must have for every CEO who really wants to understand how to initiate and engender the media in this high pressured competitive time for media coverage.

Henderson highlights the best possible ways to enhance brand awareness with authenticity and meaningful communication.

Chapter 19 titled, "Here Come the Lemmings," is a must-read for anyone who wants to know how stories get to the top.

Henderson's book is also filled with real-world tips on managing crisis communication, understanding journalists and the value of apology are spot on.

The book is filled with insights from working journalists, PR pros and corporate communicators. I highly recommend it for every corporate library as well as college communication programs!

It is a perfect coupling to David Meerman Scott's "The New Rules of Marketing and PR." The New Rules of Marketing and PR: How to Use News Releases, Blogs, Podcasting, Viral Marketing and Online Media to Reach Buyers Directly

5.0 out of 5 stars Hooray for How-To April 5, 2009
Format:Paperback
What a splendid, useful book, Mr. Henderson. I remember you from CBS news,
along with my first copy-writing mentor, Charles Kurault. We worked on "The Daily Tarheel" as students at UNC, Chapel Hill. I am teaching management courses to third-country nationals (Indians, Romanians, Portugese)along with Lithunians, and they find anecdotal material sticks with them more easily than theories and dry textbook material. Your "Savvy Leader" is a rich resource, as well as providing how-to information that is backed-up with examples from your own and others' experiences. And, a great read! Thanks!

5.0 out of 5 stars A communication manager? You must read it... March 31, 2009
Format:Paperback
This is a "must-read" book for all journalists, writers, and communication folks -- especially (but not only)if they are, in one form or another, in a managerial position. I myself am one in that category. David Henderson was kind and patient enough to teach and to lead me through all that what makes you not only good in your job but also to "sell" it, to communicate it to as many people and groups as possible, to make your work and voice heard, and to expand your influence -- through all platforms: from blogs to Facebook, Twitter to search and distribution systems. David's book helps you with that and much, much more.
