Be the Best Part of Their Day: Supercharging Communication With Values-Driven Leadership
The best companies want to leave a positive imprint on the world. They want a brand that reflects their commitment to their customers, employees, and other stakeholders. To achieve those aims, every industry is looking for that edge in how they communicate.
But the problem, author David Schreiner says, is that companies use terms like “engagement” and “communications” with an amorphous idea of what those terms mean or how to excel at them. In his new best-selling book, Be the Best Part of Their Day: Supercharging Communication with Values-Driven Leadership, Schreiner helps leaders discover the secret to making their communications transparent, honest, compassionate, and inspiring.
Schreiner says communication done well invokes organizational change and reaches the people who matter most. He reminds us of the difference we can make in people’s lives when we choose to approach them with a mindset of appreciation and love. Based on his research and three decades of experience as an industry-leading healthcare system CEO, Schreiner’s insights and strategies in the book guide leaders toward building an organizational culture of caring and high performance.
In Dr. Schreiner’s presentations, the audience learns:
- What values-based leadership entail, and how it can lead to deeper connections and better communications in an organization
- The five key parts to leaders learning how to engage and connect at a personal level.
- Engaging with intent through various mediums
- Being mission-focused through united leadership and holding each other accountable
- Knowing when to use AI to improve our communications and when it’s important to ensure human interaction.
Are you ready to elevate your connections and engage in a more meaningful way with the people who matter the most and be the best part of their day?
