Equally challenging is the fact that every business person thinks they are a good communicator, and therefore it can be difficult for professional communicators to be heard against the barrier of pre-conceived management notions – and poor management skills. A key step to improve this situation is for communicators to speak more of the language of business so they influence leaders and other executives.
