Abstract:
Communicating for high-impact is fundamental to enhancing leadership effectiveness which, in turn, helps produce desired organizational results, and create economic value. After considering some relevant literature, a practical definition of high-impact communication and a practice-oriented framework are offered. This framework for enhancing high-impact communicating helps answer the call from practice minded scholars, educators, and practitioners to bridge the gap between theoretical formulation and the real-world practice of leadership. Six essential skill components of effective communication, which in practice are dynamically inter-related, are integrated into this framework. The application value and implications of this framework along with some application challenges are discussed. This article is intended to help advance the practice, applied research and teaching of high-impact communicating as a key leadership practice.
