Mr. Leland Bassett is a pioneer of crisis communication and introduced America’s first Strategic Communication Management program at the university level in the 1970’s – a plan that helps organizations develop a cohesive and unified approach to communication. He is a visionary in adopting receiver-oriented messaging and communication effectiveness and has lent this expertise to several domains.
“This is a defining moment in history when people and organizations show who they really are, and the core values they do or do not have. Today’s global digital presence demands multi-cultural awareness and receiver-focused communication, which is the essence of this panel. It will be a robust conversation,” Mr. Bassett said.
The esteemed panelists will provide new ideas, opinions and advice on human aspects such as coping with anxiety and building hope. They will also shed light on how senior executives and corporate managers can manage teams and walk the tight rope with economic challenges on one hand and human lives and emotions on the other.
Apart from members of the corporate world, professors, students, teachers, members of special associations, bureaucrats and journalists will greatly benefit from the key takeaways in this session. After all, COVID-19 requires us to be more human-centric than ever before!
