#Listening to the Pulse of your #Organization and your #Team in a #VUCA world with Susanne Marell

Being a leader in a Vuca (volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity) world is not easy and according to Susanne Marell, requires listening. And listening takes different forms. Listening to the market and customer trends, listening to my team needs, listening to individual needs and listening to feedback from my team, not to mention the questions that arise. How can we listen in a way that gives us energy to think strategically and create success in a company, even through challenging mergers and acquisitions. Susanne Marell is CEO of Hill+Knowlton Strategies in Germany. Before joining H+K she was Managing Director at JP KOM and prior to that she served as CEO of Edelman for six years, overseeing the acquisition and merger with ergo Kommunikation. She started her career as a consultant with the agency Kohtes & Klewes (now Ketchum). In the following years, Marell worked for companies such as Schering, Hoechst and Aventis CropScience. As Head of Communications and Market Services, her responsibilities included strategic communications support for merger and acquisition activities. In 2000, she moved to the chemical company Cognis and, as Vice President Corporate Communications, took over the management of worldwide corporate and sustainability communications. Following the acquisition of Cognis by BASF in 2010, Susanne was responsible for global brand management as Vice President Corporate Brand Management at BASF in Ludwigshafen. Susanne is a certified systemic consultant and change expert. She has many years of international experience in communications, marketing and sustainability, both on the corporate and agency side. In addition, she is a co-founder of the German network of "Global Women in PR" and has built up the initiative "Next Gen Leadership" as a member of the extended board. In this episode, Susanne Marell shares how continuous feedback is needed to be a great leader; it helps you listen to make a more objective assessment while keeping you on the pulse of the organization, what your team needs and how you can move together towards a common goal with market trends top of mind. She points out that psychological safety, where people are provided a safe space to be heard without fear of consequences, ensures open and honest feedback. She also highlights the importance of leaders understanding market and customer trends first when leading teams. She calls this an outside-in approach so that you can understand the bigger picture around what you want to achieve by listening to all the stakeholders. "A leader needs feedback to be a good leader." - Susanne Marell Listen IN Notes: 01:10 - The first time she experienced being a communication practitioner and becoming a good leader 02:40 - Only by listening in a new business model will you be able to understand the context and how things play together 05:14 - How listening supported her leadership role as being part of an integration team 9:25 - To better understand what is behind any criticism and feedback: You must learn how to frame things, dig into the details, and learn the context of what you put in your story line,. If they [colleagues] are positive towards you, they will stress test your vision. 13:57 - Feedback being the highest value for a leader 16:46 - Providing psychological safety in leadership sessions 19:13 - Going in front of people [employees and investors] even in uncertain times and you don't know all the answers 21:28 - What it means to be a leader in a VUCA world 23:13 - Focusing your team on the outside in 24:56 - Giving a Northstar is just as important as giving people the 100 criteria 27:08 - What does being agile in today's world mean? 37:50 - He who poses the questions is the one who leads 43:28 - One listening style: Posing questions on a 360 degree angle 45:23 - Having a full scope of questions beyond Zoom meetings avoids risks in losing so many things 47:48 - Finding the right way to be on the pulse of your organization, of your teams, and of your decisions 49:43 - Creative ways you can do where voices are heard outside of work environment 51:38 - Is listening agreeing to what people say? Key Takeaways: "In all of these projects, where I was part of integration teams, I simply had to listen very well first to give a good recommendation about how we could integrate teams. But also to develop the vision of why these companies work together and put this vision in a storyline, which would be understood by all people globally." - Susanne Marell "Feedback is something which is of the highest value for a leader. If I'm getting feedback, this helps me to develop, but it also helps me to give a better analysis of where my team stands where my plans stand." - Susanne Marell "The positive part of listening is you get feedback." - Susanne Marell "Leading in uncertain times simply means that you have to navigate your team through those times as best as possible, even if you don't always have the answers." - Susanne Marell "It is best to tackle with trust. Because if I trust my people that they will strive for the best solutions, they will come to me for guidance, then it's easier for me to decide without having all the facts." - Susanne Marell "Your North Star is of even bigger importance. Because if you have the direction clear where you would like to go, then at least you have a kind of decision corridor, even if you do not all have the facts and things are changing." - Susanne Marell "When we just focus on Zoom teams and just checking where we stand with our business, we will lose so many things. Now we have a full scope of questions adjusted to the person I talked to." - Susanne Marell Connect with Susanne Marell: LinkedIn https://www.hkstrategies.com/ Facebook Instagram Twitter Connect with Raquel Ark: www.listeningalchemy.com Mobile: + 491732340722 contact@listeningalchemy.com LinkedIn

In this new edition of Gavin’s insightful mini-series on how to survive the COVID-19 lockdown, we visit with reputation management, crisis communication specialist, and best-selling author, Bill Coletti, who explains how we should communicate with employees, suppliers and customers as we emerge from lockdown. KEY TAKEAWAYS The return to normality after the COVID-19 lockdown will be an uneasy balance between health considerations and the financial needs of business. Always Be Communicating (ABC) is the advice upon which all companies should be adhering. Those who have kept lines of communication alive and open, will be better equipped to begin the return to the workplace. Don’t be afraid to alter your message. Communication is an ongoing and ever-evolving thing. The most important thing to remember is to keep your communication lines updated at all times. Conversations right now are opportunities to get to know your workforce better, and to double-down on the standards and values you wish to instil in them. The full canvas of innovations and technologies that have been driving home working through lockdown, has not yet fully been realised or recognised. BEST MOMENTS ’There’s a financial consideration, a social consideration, and a moral consideration’ ‘Governmental response is patchwork. Therefore, as businesses we need to communicate in alignment with our values’ ‘You can generate opportunities for listening by doing your research’ ’The ways companies are responding is going to be rewarded’ VALUABLE RESOURCES The Business Mastermind Podcast Kith - www.kith.co Bill Coletti - https://billcoletti.com Bill Coletti LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/billcoletti/ ABOUT THE GUEST Bill is a reputation management, crisis communications and professional development expert, keynote speaker, Wall Street Journal Risk & Compliance panelist, and best- selling author of Critical Moments: The New Mindset of Reputation Management.

Beyond the Headlines

In recent years, social media has provided a platform to share and discuss things big and small, and has given a voice to the unheard that was unimaginable mere decades ago. It’s given rise to movements such as #metoo, the Hong Kong protests, and Bell’s Let’s Talk campaign. However - this democratic expansion has not been without growing pains - as it’s also facilitated the growth of extremist actors, populist political campaigns, and disinformation. Canada is not insulated from the risks arising from social media and the digital era. Today we will discuss the threats posed to democracy and the potential policy responses with thought leaders Keiller Zed and Stephanie MacLennan.Keiller Zed is a communications and public policy professional and e-democracy advocate. As an Account Director with Hill+Knowlton Strategies, a leading international public relations firm, Keiller advises corporate clients on an array of communications strategies, many of which include digital. Before joining H+K, Keiller served as a senior advisor to the former Premier of New Brunswick and at 26, became the youngest Executive Director in the history of the Liberal Party of New Brunswick. Keiller has worked as a campaign strategist on over a dozen provincial and federal elections in Canada, including the recent 2019 federal campaign, as well as in the United Kingdom on the 2016 Brexit Referendum and the 2017 general election campaigns. Inspired by the results of Brexit, he has developed a passion for e-democracy and has undertaken academic research focusing on the impact of digital disinformation on the integrity of democratic systems. Stephanie MacLellan is a fellow with the Public Policy Forum and a member of the Digital Democracy Project, a study of the digital media ecosystem during the 2019 Canadian federal election campaign. Before joining PPF she was a senior research associate with the Centre for International Governance Innovation in the Global Security & Politics Program, specializing in cyber security, online disinformation, digital rights, and related policy issues. Previously, she spent more than a decade working as a journalist for newspapers such as the Toronto Star, the Hamilton Spectator. Her work has been nominated for three National Newspaper Awards.

This episode will review key questions for communicators today, including: How has the corporate world adopted the ‘self-publishing' model in today's communications environment? Is ‘fake news' impacting corporations today, and how do they battle this? Is there a concern on news media trying to be first to report a story versus being accurate? How do you combat this?
