LEADERSHIP COMMUNICATION NOW: Clear. Human. Focused.
In times of crisis, we need to use simple, human language: “How are you? I know this is an uncertain and scary time.”
We also need to provide clear information and direction and to do so often: “Today, this is what we can do and it matters that we do it well.”
Now is the time to communicate, communicate, communicate:
- What is happening this morning?
- What does it mean for those you lead?
- What exactly are people best to focus on today?
Check in with your people, what do they most need in order to focus themselves well for the long haul of change ahead?
