Thursday, April 10, 2014     Learn How To Improve Employee Communication                                                                                   Command-and-control leadership is out ... and conversation is in, according to the Harvard Business Review article “Leadership Is a Conversation.” The article’s co-authors, Harvard Business School professor and Executive Education faculty member Boris Groysberg and communications consultant Michael Slind, say that leaders who engage with employees in ordinary conversation — that is, talking with them, rather than giving orders — can capture the flexibility, engagement, and strategic alignment that allow start-ups to outperform established rivals. Called “organizational conversation,” the model identifies four elements that are most important to communication: intimacy, interactivity, inclusion, and intentionality. As a leader, how do you figure out the best way to handle communication among your employees? To help executives refine their leadership and communication styles, Harvard Business School Executive Education offers a portfolio of more than 80 open-enrollment programs. In these results-driven offerings, Professor Groysberg and other world-renowned HBS faculty bring leadership concepts to life through real-world case studies, business simulations, and small group projects. Participants emerge with the strategic vision and leadership focus required to address their most complex business challenges.                                              This message is presented on behalf of Harvard Business School Executive Education.
