This document discusses what keeps CEOs awake at night and the risks of social media for CEOs and companies. It notes that taxes, death, and social media are among the issues that concern CEOs. The document then examines a survey finding that social media is becoming increasingly important for executives and discusses both the internal drivers of social media use like marketing and innovation as well as the external barriers like security and risk. It argues that the main risk of social media is amplifying human and corporate weaknesses. The conclusion advocates focusing on building an ethical organizational culture and communicating consistently rather than trying to lie or deceive through social media.
