@dan_unbranded Definitely for the highly skilled / top talent, that's for sure.

What causes burnout besides unmanageable workloads:
- Feeling like you have no control.
- Not getting acknowledged.
- Having poor relationships with coworkers.
- Being treated unfairly by your boss.
- Having different values than your employer. https://t.co/X7NcEbLZpb

Leaders who have the humility to say “I don’t know” will be more likely to work hard & leverage the distributed wisdom of teams in the knowledge economy, to close the gap between what they need to know and what they actually know. https://t.co/hMNr8HYfcM #leadership #leader #HR

Love this: “Good communicators make themselves look smart. Great communicators make their audiences feel smart." - @AdamMGrant #writing #comms #commstips

[Pat van Wyk (McClelland) @pattymc]

This largely mirrors my experience over the last year & my feelings as what’s needed moving forward: using the elevated position of #comms for better #storytelling, even more focus on D&I, and creating a closer alignment between internal & external comms

This year had its lessons for everyone. As a communications professional, I have always appreciated short, simple messages, but it took a pandemic for me to understand just how powerful they can be. https://t.co/h8VxSIn5t3 #internalcomms #writing #comms #leadership #2020lessons

#SmartCities are often associated with wealthy areas, but the concept can (and should) be applied to lower-income areas too, to improve residents' quality of life. @Tijstweets explains how. https://t.co/sO8HDaG0b6 #smartcity #DataAnalytics #DigitalTwins

Great piece by two of my super smart colleagues on the potential of micro #mobility solutions in South Africa. #transport #smartmobility

Every point in this article has been crucial to me in 2020. But more so than ever before, I've seen how necessary it is to "keep it humble".

Put yourself in their shoes - what does your audience really care about? Cut the jargon and corporate speak. Write from the heart. Back up what you say with action. Good tips on internal comms during #covid19 and beyond.

Love this: The alternative to the elevator pitch, is the "elevator question".... "no one wants to be hustled". Ask better questions, to tell better stories.... to (ultimately) sell more & forge valuable connections.
