Five for Friday: Communication

Every week we see more solid research and data on the many benefits of great communication – from organizational change to employee engagement and corporate performance. Here are five good reads on this topic for this fine Friday:

1. Solid data shows most organizational change fails due to poor communications. (@VictorLipman1)
2. Positive reviews lead to higher performance. Awesome begets awesome. (@keithbreene)
3. What do your potential rock star managers really want? Mentorship. (@mitsmr)
4. Engaged leaders create engaged teams and disengaged leaders don’t. (@jhzenger / @JoeFolkman)
5. A contrarian view of why employee engagement isn’t rising. Blame flattened hierarchies. (@lydiadepillis)

Five for Friday is a weekly snapshot of ideas, research, and leading thinking around the web on the topics of corporate culture, internal communication, employee engagement, teamwork, and building better workplaces. Share, connect, and enjoy!
