GUIDES
Top Tips to get results and add value that leaders want
About this Guide
In his October 2017 Poppulo webinar, Jim Shaffer, business advisor, leadership coach, and leader of the Jim Shaffer Group, focused on one of the biggest challenges facing internal communications: countering perceptions of being cost centers rather than adding value; drivers of activity instead of business results.
Jim showed participants how to shift the internal communications role from cost center to value center where "the gain we create is larger than the cost to create the gain".
We have extracted these Top Tips from his webinar, and they include great advice on including leaders, reaching out to mentors, selecting change projects for success, and how to do a value to cost assessment.
