Using Communications To Build A Strong Leadership Brand
And Boost Company Value |
The communications function plays a crucial role today in building a strong
leadership brand for an organization. Besides creating a winning brand necessary for attracting
and retaining top flight talent, communications executives must also effectively market the
company's leadership position to a myriad of external constituencies who influence the
value of a corporate brand, such as opinion leaders, the media and Wall Street. Executives
from three different communications functions will provide their perspective on how they
help shape a company's internal and external value.
