    Leadership Interaction with Stakeholders and Media

    • Foundation
    • 3 Days
    • classroom1Classroom

    As each leader gains experience, he or she will face the need to communicate in ways that impact external stakeholders and media representatives.  This course prepares leaders to add these dimensions to her or his skills portfolio. Frameworks for understanding the needs of various stakeholders and the media are included in the course. Frameworks can become a checklist for decision-making in these communications to assure that the most professional outcomes are achieved. 

    Also included in the course is skill practice.  For example, capital suppliers—banks, brokers, bond and stock buyers all can have targeted communications needs and expectations.  Media, likewise, have expectations and needs.  And media needs for information can be insistent and confusing. This course seeks to make clear with whom one is communicating, what agenda should be covered, and in what manner. 

    Other important stakeholders are the public at large, the regulators who must guide the oil/gas company, and other members of government.  What to say, when and how to say it (and by whom) require specific instances. 

    This course uses cases, articles, and specific examples to get leaders to plan and execute their communications, both written and spoken.

Leaders chosen to attend will have a proactive approach to their learning and improvement of their personal communications.

Appropriate use of humor in English is an especially good selection sign.  Minimum two years of work experience.
