Episode description as stored

What it takes to lead as a communicator and communicate as a leader. Leadership isn’t just about making decisions — it’s about how you communicate them. As Matt Abrahams puts it, “Communication is operationalized leadership.” At a recent Me2We event, in connection with Stanford GSB's Executive Education LEAD program, Abrahams held a live discussion with four of the podcast’s most popular guests: Celine Teoh , facilitator of the GSB’s famous Interpersonal Dynamics course; Huggy Rao , organizational behavior professor and co-author of The Friction Project ; legendary Stanford basketball coach Tara VanDerveer ; and Dave Dodson , lecturer and author of The Manager's Handbook . In this special live episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart , the panel shares frameworks and lessons for leading and communicating more effectively. From Teoh’s five A’s for inviting dissent to Rao’s warning against “jargon monoxide,” from VanDerveer’s relationship-first approach to Dodson’s case for leading like a teacher, this conversation explores what it takes to communicate as a leader — and lead as a communicator.
