Imagine every manager in your organization fully understanding the communication role they play within the organization? And now imagine those managers with all the necessary tools and process at hand to be highly effective communicators?
My friend and client, Susan, who heads up internal communication for a financial institution, is doing just that and creating communication leaders within her company.
Susan has documented all the communication processes from the point of view of the manager. In addition she has developed a series of simple tools to help leaders take control of those processes in their areas. She is sharing this material in management meetings throughout the organization, and empowering managers to take control of the communication process.
Twenty years ago communicators produced the goods. Today we facilitate the discussion and it’s an exciting place to be.
Nicky,
Your friend's work sounds intriguing, has she finally cracked the nut with mid-level managers? Would love to see a guest post from her about how it's working!
Thanks for sharing this.
