Communication for Leaders
in the Digital Age

INTRODUCTION

We are in the midst of global digital transformation, whereby the biggest challenge for any leader is not technological but managing people effectively. Therefore, the characteristics necessary to manage during this digital age are more related to people management. Hence leaders need to understand and leverage on the technologies available, and seek collaborations that navigate individualism and collectivism, that unites people more to the benefits of the latter.

So more than ever, today’s multi-platform media environment creates unique issues whether you’re navigating a communications crisis or building your brand. When your audience is diverse—culturally, generational, geographically, or philosophically—agility in messaging becomes even more important. But how do you communicate strongly and inspire others most effectively when your communication primarily takes place through an interface? Designed for professionals who seek to increase their influence, The Communication for Leaders in the Digital Age training course teaches disciplined communications strategies that can improve your performance in different contexts.

The crux of communication is what sense and intent your listener makes of your messages. The sense and significance of that is through the leader's ability to communicate clearly and objectively. In this new norm, the ability to be adaptable and agile becomes essential for anyone who wants to thrive during these changes or risk being left behind. This means the new leader needs to be creative and persuasive, while actively and intuitively listening. It is necessary to be willing to collaborate with the team, to clarify doubts, to strengthen ties, while forging ahead as a progressive team.
