Reblogged from Running Naked With Scissors:

Sometimes it seems that life, that which happens when we are trying to get where we want to be, can be better than getting to where we want to be.  The journey better than the destination.

A Better Way to Communicate

Today’s post is by bestselling author Seth Kahan.  It’s an excerpt from his book Getting Change Right: How Leaders Transform Organizations from the Inside Out.  You can learn more about him and his book at the end of the post.

In the conclusion to this post I would like to highlight the following:

“Most importantly by engaging our stakeholders using social construction you will be able to:
- Penetrate the demands and clutter that are part of business life.
- Break through the assorted messages the media constantly delivers.
- Get people’s attention and move forward to help them engage, get involved, and begin contributing.
- Coordinate this activity without formal authority.”

Check it out, great article:
