Communicating Strategically for Results

Communication is more art than skill. What we say, how we say it, when we say it and to whom we say it, and our awareness of the proper context are essential and critical components for practicing full strategic communication. If we want to build credibility and have influential impact, it's important to be deliberate and develop a clear and effective voice. It’s about “communication accountability.”
