Great Leader = Great Communicator
We didn’t say it. The Harvard Business Review article by Carmin Gallo, says it. The article is titled, “How Great Leaders Communicate.” We just made the implicit connection. Mr. Gallo points out four key communication techniques to focus on: 1) use short words, 2) use “sticky” phrases, 3) humanize data, and, 4) emphasize your mission – your “Why.” Thank you to Jim Dieter for sharing this.

Prevent Fraud
The U.S. Government Accountability Office recently published a report that indicates $60 billion was defrauded from the U.S. Department of Labor during the pandemic. The report it titled: GAO-23- 05523 Data Indicate Substantial Levels of Fraud during the Pandemic; DOL Should Implement an Antifraud Strategy. The effective fraud risk reduction included in the GAO Green Book, The Federal Internal Control Standards, could have reduced the amount fraud absorbed tax payers absorbed. When combined with GAO’s Fraud Risk Framework, the proper attention is paid to the internal controls element of asset management that can reduce the risk of fraud. All organizations can benefit from understanding and adhering to these best practices. Thank you to Richard Culbertson for sharing this information.
