DANIA, Fla., Dec. 19, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Issa Asad, CEO of Q Link Wireless, LLC, and Quadrant Holdings, LLC, and social media guru, doesn't hold with the common critique that social media is superficial. Instead, the Dania, Florida-based author and entrepreneur teaches that social media, when used properly, can be an incredibly powerful tool for anyone in the business world, especially his fellow CEOs.

"There are some powerful and positive traits that are common among CEOs who are social," said Asad, who is also the author of four e-books, including Instant Profits with Instagram. Below, Asad shares five positive traits of CEOs who regularly engage in social media.

1. They Possess a "Bias for Action"

CEOs who regularly engage on social media are ready, willing and able to jump online, engage with others in real time and make change without spending a lot of time debating. This propensity enables them to stay in control of their brand image, respond to crises, snag opportunities as they arise and carry their companies every day.

2. They Are Deeply Curious

CEOs jump on in on social media so they can figure out what others are saying about them, their businesses or the industry as a whole. Listening can provide a wealth of useful information to those who apply the lessons they learn to their own companies. CEOs who move beyond just listening can reach out to clients, customers and competitors for even more detailed insights.

3. They Give Without Expectation of Receiving

The best social media users harness the power of giving without any expectation of being repaid or receiving some corporate benefit. Instead, they share unstintingly of their experiences, practical advice or stances on social issues just because it is the right thing to do. This lack of an angle instills trust and gratitude in other users.

4. They Are the Face of Their Companies

As the highest-ranking officer of an organization, the CEO is immediately targeted by other users as its top representative. When he or she behaves responsibly, cares for customers, works hard to boost the organization's image and shares usefully on social media channels, they build not only their own reputation, but that of their company as well.

5. They Can Do It Themselves

CEOs who regularly engage on social media are more reliant on their own efforts and abilities (as opposed to those of their underlings). Instead of depending on detailed, overly processed reports, social CEOs engage with customers and competition on a real, minute-to-minute level.
