I have to constantly communicate to my constituents

As a CEO, my number one, number two, and number three jobs are communication - Dave Pottruck
as recalled by Jeff Frick at the Wharton Zweig Executive Lecture Series Event

That's my job. I have to be constantly communicating to my internal constituents, my employees, and keeping them motivated about the mission, to my ecosystem, partners, Wall Street, people who are important to the business. And then the outside world about what we're doing and why it's important. - Dave Pottruck

I knew this was important. I hired a coach. I didn't let my ego get in the way. And I trained and I practiced. - Dave Pottruck

I have enjoyed many phenomenal speakers over the years, from interviews, to keynotes, on my shows, and others.

I lessons I learned from Dave over the course of a talk, and dinner with Q&A, set a foundation on which many of my communication fundamentals are based, and the importance in leadership in everything from business and well beyond.

And the straightforward acknowledgement that's it a skill, it's important, so I'll hire a pro, and train and practice and get reps, and follow the process and up my game. Check the ego at the door, and start practicing.

Thanks again Dane.

Investing time, energy, and focus on improving teamwork, is more important than where people plug in their laptop.

Improving communications, from internal documentation to leadership and the mission, can make a huge difference.
