SUMMARY:If Managers Don't Own The Message\, You Don't Own the Culture.
DESCRIPTION:Why Culture Lives (or Dies) in the Middle and what communicators can do about it.\n\n\nWebinar: If Managers Don’t Own the Message\, You Don’t Own the Culture\nPresenter: Steve Crescenzo\nDate & Time: Tuesday\, 23 June\, 1:00 PM CEST (Spain) / 12:00 PM BST (UK)\nRegister: Register on Eventbrite \n\nMost organizations say culture matters\, then treat managers as message carriers rather than culture builders. That’s the mistake. Employees don’t experience “the company.” \nThey experience their manager. If managers read slides\, culture feels scripted. If they spark real dialogue\, culture becomes real. \nThis session shows communicators how to stop pushing talking points and start equipping managers to translate strategy\, invite conversation\, surface concerns\, and send insight back up. \nBecause culture isn’t built when leaders speak. It’s built when managers make meaning. \nYou’ll learn: \n\nA clear model for turning managers into two-way communication channels — not corporate megaphones.\nSimple tools to help managers translate strategy into “what this means for us.”\nA practical way to spark dialogue instead of dumping information.\nA system for capturing real stories from the floor — the raw material of culture.\nA framework for closing the feedback loop so employees see their voices move upward.\nA shift from measuring distribution to measuring understanding\, ownership\, and action.
