Description

Principled Persuasion in Employee Communication highlights a new but significant dilemma for organisational leaders.

Will they continue on the same track that, since the nineteenth century, has led them to exert increasing control over their employees? Or will they take another path, one that leads towards a new type of working environment where the culture encourages freedom of communication and movement?

This book argues for an approach to employee communication that sets out to liberate employees from the stifling constraints that organisations continue to impose on them.

Principled Persuasion is so-called because it uses persuasive techniques, based on clear principles, to create new, forward-looking organisational cultures.

It sets out to increase employee happiness and minimise the harms done to employees at work.

It grounds itself on a strong ethical base composed of fundamental, universal principles.

It introduces a new approach to the use of language, not only calling for more clarity and meaning in organisational communication, but also for a more conscious use of rhetorical techniques to change vocabulary, metaphors and internal dialogue for the better. Make no mistake, most organisations have totally underrated the strategic importance of employee communication.

Principled Persuaders understand that the key to dealing with the unpredictable events about to unfold in the twenty-first century will be a new way of communicating with the workforce.

The flexibility, adaptability and innovation that will be needed to survive and prosper in coming decades can only be achieved by liberating employees, not imprisoning them further in established systems and processes.
