I like to introduce the idea of the amplified individuals.
Amplified individuals are the new super heroes of organizations. They embraced new tools, applications, practices and social media.
They have 9 super powers.

A talent for organizing and collaborating with many people simultaneously

An understanding that each context and space requires a different persuasive strategy and technique
