Maintain Enthusiasm by Aligning Communication: Critically-Acclaimed Book Shows You How

    /24-7PressRelease/ - GLEN ROCK, NJ, November 24, 2005 - Many leaders find it easy to inspire their organizations at the launch of a strategy or an initiative. Their detailed communication earns them buy-in and enthusiasm, but that zeal often fades and agreed-upon actions can stall or disappear completely.

Why does this happen? Your formal communication about the strategy or initiative tends to decrease as you move on to other projects after the initial launch. To maintain support throughout execution, you need to be aware that you are always communicating with others. Your behaviors and what you don't say can have as much or more impact than what you do say, so you need to take control of both the formal and informal messages you send.

According to Pamela S. Harper, author of the book, Preventing Strategic Gridlock : Leading Over, Under and Around Organizational Jams to Achieve High Performance Results (Cameo Publications, $19.95, ISBN 0-9715739-4-8), "Keeping an adequate level of credible communication on an ongoing basis is one of the cornerstones for preventing gridlock and accelerating progress. The more you align formal and informal communication, the greater the likelihood that stakeholders will be inspired to take the action you intend them to take.

To align formal and informal communication, Harper advises conducting periodic audits of your values and how your policies and procedures may support or block implementation of those values in your organization. Include the perceptions of stakeholders to make this audit an even more effective tool.
