LinkedIn I am proposing a new and complementary vision to LinkedIn. While international LinkedIn brings together professionals from all around the world, my concept aims to create a national LinkedIn, designed to connect professionals within the same country. The objective is clear: Provide greater visibility for small professionals, who are often overshadowed on global platforms. Encourage communication in the same language, aligned with the local context and professional market. Offer a more accessible, relevant, and country-specific professional space. A local LinkedIn would also allow companies to manage several localized profiles for their branches worldwide, instead of relying on a single global page that may not reflect local realities. In this context, I propose launching a pilot phase in partnership with Ooredoo Group – Qatar, which operates in several African and Asian countries. This collaboration could serve as a strong foundation to test, refine, and deploy this new model. I am open to discussing this innovative project. 👉 Feel f LinkedInDZ for Algeria LinkedInTN for Tunisia LinkedInQT for Qatar Instead of having only one LinkedIn in the world, you would have hundreds of them, generating even more revenue.
Great job
Leading as a human build trust Much faster than company benefits. This one thing I recommend for leaders especially founders: Audit trust at least quarterly This helps you see: - where the gaps are - how your team really feels - what risks are there that can affect trust Trust is math. The math that pushes you to lead from humanity.
This article has prompted me to reflect on how we balance technology and human connection at work.
