Overview

What’s the “secret sauce” to Supercharged Communications? Can it be quantified? Can it be taught? More than that, as a leader, who are you? What are the values you project—not just in the workplace but 24/7? David Schreiner, Ph.D., spent years researching and speaking to executives and people in large organizations across the country to try to discover just that. The good news is he uncovered three essential elements to communication: Engage and connect at a personal level. Engage with intent through various mediums. Be mission-focused through united leadership. He also pinpointed fifteen effective strategies—principles and concepts you could begin to apply to your organization today. He created a platform of Supercharged Communications he could use as a CEO in the healthcare industry—but that could be applied no matter the sector, no matter the circumstances. Utilizing the technique of Appreciative Inquiry—and a real and personal desire to connect with others, David Schreiner has embraced authentic leadership and distilled its best practices. Research-based and actionable, Schreiner invites the reader on a personal journey to get at the very heart of their organization—and the communications principles that can ensure readers are the best part of the day for the people they encounter.
