The role of leadershipcommunication™ no longer applies solely to a few C-level executives. In fact, leadershipcommunication is far too important to be left to a few executives – or supervisors. Today, leaders at every level need to communicate effectively with employees and drive employee engagement. A leader’s ability to engage and connect each employee to the organization, business strategy and vision is key to achieving performance and long-term goals. They must manage messages so they influence the decision moments and discretionary effort employees choose to take. How well leaders manage these components determines their success or failure.

Through this interactive session, grounded in a proven four-step leadercommunicator model, attendees will learn each step of the model; experience best practices from world-class organizations; and ultimately gain the skills necessary to coach leaders to drive business results and improve performance through effective leadershipcommunication.

This hands-on session will help communicators clearly articulate the business value of communications and show how effective leadership communications contributes to the overall bottom line of their organization. The knowledge they acquire will help them position themselves as a trusted advisor to leaders within their organization. Attendees will be able to demonstrate their added value by showing executives that communication is an indispensable tool for better business and better executive leadership.
