Episode notes
Communication Is A Two-Way Process
- Communication is a two-way process with a sender and receiver and lots of noise.
- Leaders must account for receiver's mental noise to ensure messages land.
Choose Frames Deliberately
- Frame messages positively when possible to increase acceptance and engagement.
- Use loss-frames selectively because people react more strongly to potential losses.
