Matthew Kohut | Why Leaders Can't Afford To Stay Silent

Over the past few years, we’ve seen a perceptual pendulum swing from leaders opening speaking out on a number of social and political issues, to many of those same leaders now being conspicuously quiet.

While this might seem reasonable in the face of increasing social divisiveness and economic uncertainty, my guest Matthew Kohut makes the case that this retreat into silence may carry a far higher cost than leaders realize.

Matthew is a communication strategist who joins me on this episode of “Leadership Biz Cafe” to talk about his book, ”Speaking Out: The New Rules of Business Leadership Communication” and what those new rules for speaking out are, along with a practical communication framework that can help leaders know when they should speak out, how to do it, and why it’s critical to their organization and its stakeholders.
