Messaging a Warm Reception: Communication is about both sending and receiving the message

We all know that if there is one set of instructions and five people listening to those instructions, it’s a virtual certainty that different people will perceive and interpret those instructions differently. Said more plainly, the information will be received differently. 

The reason leadership communication is so difficult is leaders can expect the number of people they need to communicate with is the same number of ways that they may need to communicate. Having their message received is infinitely more important than how they deliver it.
