Based on a case study of leadership communication in a time of organizational change, this book gives new leaders insights into the tools and skills needed to become effective, motivating communicators in their leadership careers. Taking a holistic approach to communication and leadership, the book argues that employees buy in to change when they collectively feel engaged in meaningful work that will enrich the lives of customers, employees, and investors. Based on ethnographic research, it approaches the topic through an absorbing fiction-like retelling of an organization’s successful navigation of change against the backdrop of the 2007 mortgage crisis. In doing so, it establishes a framework for leaders to understand the principles behind how and why buy-in is generated in organizations. This unique approach allows readers to visualize leadership communication principles in practice. Fostering Employee Buy-in is ideal as a supplementary text in introductory leadership communication, management, and business courses or as a text for new leaders interested in inspiring organizational change.

This book presents the findings, applications, and theoretical underpinnings of a unique leadership communication model: motivating language theory. Drawing from management, social science, and communication theories, motivating language theory demonstrates how leader-to-follower speech improves employee and organizational well-being and drives positive workplace outcomes (such as employee performance, retention, and job satisfaction) in a wide array of settings. It presents an integrated model based on empirical findings and theoretical developments from the past three decades to explore the three dimensions of motivating language: direction giving language, empathetic language, and meaning-making language. It will be a comprehensive source for its empirical relationships, generalizability, theoretical basis, and future directions for research and practice.

This accessible, highly interactive book presents a transformative approach to communication in leadership to meet workplace challenges at both local and global levels. Informed by neuroscience, psychology, as well as leadership science, it explains how integrating and properly balancing two key focal points of management—the tasks at hand and the concerns of others and self—can facilitate decision-making, partnering with diverse colleagues, and handling of crises and conflicts. Case examples, a self-test, friendly calls for reflection, and practical exercises provide readers with varied opportunities to assess, support, and evoke their readiness to apply these real-world concepts to their own style and preferences. Together, these chapters demonstrate the best outcomes of collaborative communication: greater effectiveness, deeper empathy with improved emotional fulfillment, and lasting positive change. Included in the coverage: · As a manager, can I be human? Using the two-agenda approach for more effective—and humane—management. · Being and becoming a person-centered leader and manager in a crisis environment. · Methods for transforming communication: dialogue. · Open Case: A new setting for problem-solving in teams. · Integrating the two agendas in agile management. · Tasks and people: what neuroscience reveals about managing both more effectively. · Transforming communication in multicultural contexts for better understanding across cultures.

Within a few years of SIOP's founding, other organizations emerged, reflecting an expanding interest in specialized areas of I-O Psychology. The American Society for Training and Development (ASTD), now known as the Association for Talent Development (ATD), was founded in 1944. It focused on the professional development of trainers and facilitators, emphasizing the need for psychological principles in training programs. This organization served as a vital resource for I-O psychologists whose work intersected with training and development. Another critical player in the post-war era was the International Association for Applied Psychology (IAAP), established in 1920 but revitalized after the war. This organization sought to promote the application of psychological principles across different cultural and organizational contexts, thereby positioning I-O Psychology on a global stage. The IAAP facilitated international research collaborations and conferences that allowed practitioners to share insights drawn from various cultural perspectives, thereby enriching the field. The establishment and growth of these professional organizations sparked a proliferation of research and scholarship in I-O Psychology. They provided the infrastructure for professional certifications and guidelines that defined competencies and ethical standards within the discipline. Among the foremost initiatives was the introduction of certification programs that validated the expertise of I-O psychologists, ensuring that practitioners met the discipline’s evolving professional standards.
