Communicating Decisions…That You Don’t Agree With

In light of the Yahoo CEO's decision to stop all remote employee working arrangements, Alan poses the question to Tony: "If you were a mid-level leader at Yahoo, what would you do if you had to communicate that decision your employees… but you ultimately didn't agree with it?" How do you communicate organization decisions — that you don't agree with — to your employees and still be an honest leader? Alan and Tony talk through this idea, with some potentially controversial recommendations. Tony Jackson is a leadership development consultant and coach, helping organizations turn some of their strongest people into future leaders.
