Episode notes

If people can internalize your logic, they can then be able to not only know what they need to do and feel confident that it's the right thing. The best communication advice you've ever received as a five to seven word presentation slide title would be a classroom is a theater. It was really powerful for me to change the way I taught, and definitely for the better.

As Professor Jesper Sørensen sees it, a winning strategy is the result of conversations, not commands.

Sørensen says strategy can be directed from the C-suite, but it doesn’t have to be. “Lots of great strategies are discovered,” he says, “they're discovered because the leaders were able to listen to their frontline workers or their frontline managers.” A more iterative approach, says Sørensen, helps companies adapt their strategy to an ever-changing landscape.

In the latest episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Sørensen joins host and lecturer Matt Abrahams to discuss how organizations can use better communication to craft better strategies.
