Two guiding principles in social media are to Be Human and Be Honest. Had the National Theatre adopted either policy, they might have done themselves a service.

•You can’t hide or not respond•Act quickly•Admit the mistake,  stakeholders are forgiving•Use humor when appropriate•Build your network before you need it•Employees should use different Twitter apps for personal/organizational tweeting•If the mistake had been damaging to the organization,  a social media policy would have been critical if taking appropriate action

Lessons Learned

If you can’t fly then run, if you can’t run then walk, if you can’t walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have 

to keep moving forward.”
