Sarah Goodall: The Employee Influencer, Gebunden

Klappentext

Deliver credible influence and measurable results in an era of collapsing trust and AI-driven misinformation.

Senior leaders face a fundamental shift in how influence is earned and sustained. Trust in institutions and corporate communications is declining, AI-generated content is undermining authenticity and traditional channels no longer deliver consistent impact. In this environment, employee advocacy has emerged as a proven strategic response, turning trusted internal voices into a source of competitive advantage.

Written for C-suite executives, corporate affairs leaders and senior marketing and communications professionals, this book provides tools for activating employee influence at scale with governance, rigor and commercial discipline. Drawing on neuroscience research, insights from the Edelman Trust Barometer and expert interviews with leaders from IBM and SAP, it demonstrates why "people like me" consistently outperform institutional messaging and how informed leadership can operationalize this insight.

Built around a clear three-part strategic model covering foundation, ecosystem and execution, the book connects employee advocacy directly to ROI, risk management and long-term performance. It moves beyond culture-led narratives to offer a data-led framework for decision making, accountability and sustained results.

You will learn how to:

• Establish governance and executive alignment for employee advocacy
• Apply strategic models to activate influence across complex organizations
• Measure results using data-led KPIs and executive dashboards
• Mitigate risk while scaling authentic employee participation
• Deliver trust, credibility and measurable business outcomes

This is an essential guide for senior leaders seeking to lead with confidence, make informed decisions and deliver influence that stands up to board-level scrutiny.
