Framing Your Communication to Inspire and Convince (edX)

Discover how to gain support from management and motivate your teams by learning how to communicate effectively and strategically. In order to be effective, leaders need a high tolerance of complexity. Beyond this, they need to inform their people and the outside world of their strategies, policies and decisions. Effective leaders are often inspiring communicators - their own high tolerance of complexity helps them reduce this complexity to a concise and powerful message. This course introduces the sensemaking mindset.
