Define your personal leadership brand in 5 steps

I don't get this. I don't get the whole "personal branding" movement. Why the fuck can't people be themselves? Explore. Make things. Meet people. Love yourself and others. Continuously be improving yourself, of course, but... this sort of discourse is just robotic and inhuman and tone-deaf to the actual experience of the wonderful universe around us.

I'm afraid I can't be more pointed in my criticism because I can't fathom the mindset of a person who would ever find this advice useful.

Good feedback. I don't take everything I read at face value. In fact, for this article I didn't focus on the personal branding. I liked the idea of defining what you want to be in 12 months (for me: being able to execute on beautiful and functional mobile apps). Didn't really give much thought to where they say once you define your brand, share it with others. Nothing is black and white - all advice is biased, take from it what you will.

Once I got to the part in the article where they started combining the terms like `Independently innovative' I thought that this is ripe for a `personal leadership brand generator' site.

The crap that MBAs come up with is unbelievable. I am fed up of this insane bullshit that can apply to anything and everything when told with a straight face. Scamsters all of them.
