Having worked in internal communication in a variety of organizations since 1997, I’ve seen and heard a lot of myths and aphorisms about “good communication” which, alas, are either untrue or deeply overstated.
Here are eight of the real doozies—I’m sure there are others; if you know of any, pile into the comments:
- Social Media is new
- Treat employees like customers
- Good communication is free
- Employees can’t say no
- Use the disembodied second person
- Good internal communication is all about recognition
- It’s all about the bosses
- Line Management Cascades are the best form of communication
For the full story–and the explosion of each of these myths, you can visit my posting at www.communitelligence.com.
