What the Potential TikTok Ban Can Teach Us About the Value of Trust in Leadership

In this episode of Lead With That, Ren and Allison discuss the pending ban of social media platform TikTok, and what impact this decision may have on social media users and creators.

On March 13, 2024, the United States House of Representatives voted in favor of passing legislation to ban TikTok if its current owner, ByteDance, does not move to sell their stake in the company within 6 months. As a result, the future of the platform in the US as well as the implications for those who depend on the platform for both income and entertainment alike remain uncertain. While this legislation is primarily about government policy, it highlights from a leadership perspective the important role that trust and transparency play when leaders make decisions that have a major ripple effect on people, whether in an organization or a government.
