M9 / Pat your head, rub your tummy and whistle through the leadership graveyard

Date: Monday, 27 June
Time: 1:30 – 2:45 pm
Track: Strategy & Counsel

The undisputed organizational payoff of targeted, managed internal communication is justification enough for communicators’ use of stealth (and all other value-adding means necessary) to herd their leaders from the old paradigm of employee communication as “nice to have” to the 21st-century reality of employee communication as strategy-critical.

In this session you'll learn to:

• Shock early, continually deploy awe, disturb the system – and survive!
• Brief leaders with a compelling picture of communication as strategy-critical
• Use Gavin-Hodges’ new Communication Management Rule Sets to help leaders match their “do” to their “say”
