CEO Content: Smart Strategy or Cringe?
Is CEO content building trust, or just embarrassing the brand?
CEOs are posting more than ever. But not all visibility builds trust.
In this Workfluencer Trend Report, Rhona breaks down a recent CNBC article questioning whether CEOs trying to be influencers is smart leadership or pure cringe.
Using real examples of executive backlash, this episode explores why some CEO content backfires, why others work, and how trust has become the most important currency in the AI era.
This isn’t about telling leaders to stop posting. It’s about understanding what audiences will not tolerate anymore.
