Should you need to announce a decision to a team or organization, you have several options:
<ul>
<li>Tell each person individually, in private.</li>
<li>Tell everyone at the same time.</li>
<li>Tell some people, charging them to tell others.</li>
<li>Tell only those who need to know.</li>
</ul>
The point is not which method is best or that this is an exhaustive list. The point is to have a method and be transparent and consistent (as appropriate) about how communications are made.

Communicating a Decision

These podcasts will help you develop key workforce skills: 

• Effective Communication
• Teamwork and Collaboration
• Problem Solving and Critical Thinking
• Decision Making
• Time Management
• Adaptability and Resilience
• Technical Literacy
• Career Planning
• Professionalism

Each episode is applicable in many industries and are ‘evergreen’, relevant and appropriate over time.
Each episode starts with a brief overview of a concept, which is followed by an application section that either goes into greater detail or discusses how the idea can be applied more broadly.

There is an expression, “Experience is what you have just after you need it.”  Particularly early in your career, you will be exposed to many new professional situations, and you will learn things and gain insights in the process.  Unfortunately, because the terminology, business challenge, or interpersonal dynamic will be unfamiliar to you, your ability to engage, contribute, or lead will be less than you wish.  After all, it is hard to be confident, poised, and show executive and management potential when you may feel unsure of the territory.

These episodes are intended for a professional in the early stage of his or her career.

Whether unfair or not, the pool of young professionals in any organization is observed by executives and quickly sorted into those with more management potential and those with less.  The folks with promise are quickly moved into the position of team leader or first-line manager.  This gives those selected a career advantage because they get to practice leading and managing.  They are also exposed to the ‘management curriculum’, a set of topics that entry-level staff do not work through.  My hope is that digesting the material in this book will better equip you to engage and your performance will mark you for advancement.
