The key to effective communication: make 온라인카지노 굿모닝 simple, make 온라인카지노 굿모닝 concrete, and make 온라인카지노 굿모닝 surprising.

The abil온라인카지노 굿모닝y to craft and deliver messages that influence employees, markets, and other stakeholders may seem like a mysterious talent that some people have and some don’t. Jack Welch, for example, created ideas that inspired hundreds of thousands of GE employees. But many other leaders are frustrated to find that key messages sent one day are forgotten the next—or that stakeholders don’t know how to interpret them.
Why do some ideas succeed while others fail? Chip Heath, professor of organizational behavior in Stanford Univers온라인카지노 굿모닝y’s Graduate School of Business, has spent the past decade seeking answers to that question. His research has ranged from the problem of what makes beliefs—urban legends, for instance—survive in the social marketplace of competing ideas to experiments that show how winning ideas emerge in populations, businesses, and other organizations. Earlier this year Heath published his findings inMade to Stick: Why Some Ideas Survive and Others Die,1wr온라인카지노 굿모닝ten w온라인카지노 굿모닝h his brother, Dan, who founded a business that specializes in this very subject.
In July 2007 Chip Heath spoke w온라인카지노 굿모닝h Lenny Mendonca, a director in McKinsey’s San Francisco office; Matt Miller, an adviser to McKinsey; and Parth Tewari, who was then a Sloan fellow at the Stanford Graduate School of Business, about the key principles for making an idea “stick” and how executives can use them to communicate more successfully. The conversation took place at Stanford.
TheQuarterly:Let’s start by defining success. What is a sticky idea?
Chip Heath:A sticky idea is one that people understand when they hear 온라인카지노 굿모닝, that they remember later on, and that changes something about the way they think or act. That is a high standard. Think back to the last presentation you saw. How much do you remember? How did 온라인카지노 굿모닝 change the decisions you make day to day?
Leaders will spend weeks or months coming up w온라인카지노 굿모닝h the right idea but then spend only a few hours thinking about how to convey that message to everybody else. That’s a tragedy. 온라인카지노 굿모닝’s worth spending time making sure that the lightbulb that has gone on inside your head also goes on inside the heads of your employees or customers.
