Show Notes
All-star IC double act Kevin Ruck and Martin Flegg return to the Internal Comms Podcast to provide a to-the-minute update on where they think internal communication is today. And it’s not looking good for leaders.
‘Trust just isn’t there anymore,’ Martin tells Katie in an episode packed with insight. The authors of the newly published fifth edition of their book Exploring Internal Communication: Towards Dialogue in the Workplace share their thoughts on trust, the employer-employee relationship and the myth that line managers are worse communicators than senior leaders.
The episode also explores how employees are becoming more willing to speak up, the role digital channels play in stifling creativity, organisations deploying leader avatars, the rise of ‘casualisation’ and how to make content work.
