Quotes by Erik Qualman  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“We don't have a choice on whether we do social media, the question is how well we do it?”
― Erik Qualman

“Integrity is what you do behind closed doors or when you think nobody is watching. Integrity is the true essence of who you are, your beliefs and your values. Reputation is the public perception of who you are. It is how others view your integrity or strong moral principles.”
― Erik Qualman, What Happens in Vegas Stays on YouTube: PRIVACY is DEAD. The NEW rules for business, personal, and family reputation.

“People who do surf the Internet for fun at work—within a reasonable limit of less than 20 percent of their total time in the office—are more productive by about 9 percent than those who don't,” according to Dr. Brent Coker, from the department of management and marketing at the University of Melbourne, Australia.”
― Erik Qualman, Socialnomics: How Social Media Transforms the Way We Live and Do Business
