In this week’s show, Gavin discusses the most effective ways in which you can engage with stakeholders across five different categories: customers, suppliers, team members, funders and bankers.

During COVID-19 times, it’s even more vital to keep lines of communication open, but also to ensure that we treat each different channel in its own unique way. In today’s show, Gavin walks you through the best ways of maintaining your key stakeholder groups.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
Communication now should be front-loaded with care, compassion and empathy. It is far more likely that those we are in contact with are going through some form of trauma.
At any one time, a person’s response is the sum total of how they are feeling. We need to consider what could be creating that response; either bad or good.
Do your best to be proactive when it comes to communication, especially in the case of suppliers. Remember that it’s not just your livelihood that’s being affected.
Strike a good balance between time with your stakeholders and time with your employees. Visibility is crucial in keeping morale at its peak. 
In periods of uncertainty, people seek safety in numbers. Now is the most important time to begin building communities.

BEST MOMENTS

‘It’s important that we strive to find opportunities for genuine connection’ 

’Now is the time to communicate, to collaborate, and to counsel’
