Nenshi is one of the candidates in the election to become mayor of Calgary. He made an efficient use of Facebook, online links, and Twitter to spread out the message to citizens. Moreover, he wrote for the Calgary Herald and created links in his own iPods. Through the following channels of media, messages were rapidly spread around Calgary and also to other countries around the world. On the day of election, he successfully collected 11,000 supporters on Facebook, then after 24 hours, he has 13, 000 supporters. As the numbers of Internet users continues to increase, the most significant way of getting citizen’s attention is through social media. For example, the “Wall” on Facebook had made an outstanding change for the election. Hence, Nenshi won the election not only because he is skillful promoting in social medias, but he is capable in managing his workers; he spread the work among the workers. This decision showed that he has faith in his workers and trusts in them. In the economic world, employer’s show of trust to his employees is important; it increases employees’ motivation in work.
