Communication is rarely easy, especially when you are speaking across generational divides. In this episode, internal communication strategist and SXSW speaker, Scott Waldron, highlights the importance of communication and building influence within organizations.
We use communication to drive more influence as our companies respond to the fluctuating expansion of the marketplace. We also feel the rising pressure to have influence when very few jobs are considered "safe" any longer. The problem is when companies focus more on external communication and neglect prioritizing internal needs.
Skot also shares his insights on generational differences and the benefit to our companies when we can create mutual understanding by bridging the gap to create cultures where people want to work.
