I thought the purpose of this video was to learn to communicate effectively with executives, not to impress them, or to get into their "inner circle" I think the question is "why" are you trying to communicate effectively, to relay pertinent information, or to impress I think the title should read, Impressing Executives using 5 Rules of Communication

Or just, hear me out be yourself Don't try to be someone you're not as it will bite you on the arse brbrI have been with my employer for 5 years and started doing basic data entry, have worked through process improvement roles, analysis, FP&A and now an accountant, having received sponsorship endorsed by our CFO brbrI've dealt with and deal with people from exec and board level, chairman to Business Partners, and of couse, the main people on the "shop floor" who drive a business forward brbrHow to speak to the Exec the same way you speak to other colleagues As you

We are just people, talk to us as a normal person

The biggest thing I’ve learnt in my career is to dumb it down when communicating with the upper ranks, especially if you are in Technology Being more senior to you does not necessarily mean they are any more intelligent and what most of them are doing is faking it Such BS, can’t wait to retire!!!

Comment from : Ron Solomon

These are great advice thank you I will use these rules to pursue my next career move and interview
Comment from : Danilda Soto

Why on earth would I want to work for or speak to an executive who looks down on their employees? In a typical company, middle management has little incentive to promote an employee who excels and could potentially replace or surpass them Given onboarding expenses, it is far more efficient and cost effective to train existing employees for new roles rather than looking to external hires who may or may not prove to be a good fit Either you know and believe in your employees or you do not If you do not, they will become exactly what you would expect, just another worker with zero loyalty collecting a paycheck There were many looking for more I have to wonder how often companies overlook great opportunities to grow from within because of bias due to age, appearance, etc It ws short sighted to squeeze out some of your best candidates to sip the corporate welfare kool-aid; especially in industries with competing brands Nothing ensures they have lost a customer like leaving a bad taste in a former employees mouth That distaste can last and be passed on for generations

I violated every rule, which is why I never made executive level and saw less technically competent people who accomplish much less get promoted above me

so many difficult words I am intimidated already
Comment from : Kris

As an exception to this rule, I'm a UX researcher I frequently speak with C-suite executives from several companies outside of my own organization My primary role is to ask questions The benefit to executives is clear Through my observations of their current processes, and allowing them to share their definition of success, and their goals, I'm able to provide direction to design and product teams to inform solutions they may use in the future as opposed to relying on our own assumptions

"Projects" are tasks for less brilliant minds that need to justify why they are there in that company

Admittedly I have struggled with these points Even more great advice from the comments As one commented below, being good at what you do (doing your best) sometimes makes people nervous Oddly, they don't teach that at colleges or universities
Comment from : iwantcheesypuffs

All of these are intriguing, the confidence one seems like a no brained but honestly you could make many videos about that subject But #4 on long term thinking actually ended up inspiring me to create a service package for my clients based on long term thinking as a strategy Thank you! 🤗🧠💪🏾📈💯

Doc Do give an example bout communicating in an elongated timeframe in sync to the executivebrAppreciate it
Comment from : Muzamil Adzib

I don’t like the way you talk about « implementors » like they’re servants or less important… its actually the implementors that are the doers in a company, not the executives who sit around and give orders all day, and sit in meaningless meetings to discuss progress when they themselves dont even lift a finger to actually advance anything… what i have about working in an officebrThe ones in charge seem to have never worked a day in their life, just asking for things to be done when they dont even have an understanding of what needs to be done

Oh, and don't forget to not age in the corporate world Human Resources and management is very hostile to the aging process LOL!

Comment from : Paul P

I was wondering if you could help me with this? If I am booking a flight for my executive, and I want to send the details to him so that it shows up/blocks out his Outlook calendar so that he knows when his trip is coming up How can I do that, do I just forward the email that I will receive from the airline company and does he have to accept it so that it shows up on his calendar????? or should i just send it as an invite and add him as an attendee? If so, does he have to accept it so that it pops up on his and is blocked out throughout the whole trip? Also, can he check-in online using his calendar that will have all the details? Thank you very much

I really enjoyed the 5 Rules of talking to Executives especially the “Execute rain making communication” piece
Comment from : chiquita gardner

Rule #1: you don’t have a boss, you have customers Treat your boss as your customers
Comment from : Qian Chen

This was actually extremely helpful and answered the questions that had brought me to your video Thank you!
Comment from : Orisia Lawrin

Though this is very good advice These 5 rules shows how executives ( myself part of that group) have very dangerous delusions about themselves and the business they are in Of course this is a double sided coin Only this delusion can create breakout companies But those are few and far from thousands of businesses Data analytics and AI has woken myself and this level of management Those that can't adapt will still be "executives" I like to think the evolution is leaders executives are dinosaurs They will die out
Comment from : Hok Man

I think I have noticed this about executives as someone who works in IT support Next time I have to fix an issue for them I will try to go into as many details as possible about their issues I'm working, cause and resolution I will make sure I give them a ton of minute details 🙂
Comment from : Pentti Muhli

Rule #1: do not assume the executive knows ANYTHING other than his own rewards brRule #2: do not assume the executive cares about ANYTHING other than his own rewardsbrRule# 3: do not assume that rules 1 and 2 may not apply in ANY situationbrEvery executive I have ever worked with through the years has been a brilliant mover and shaker for their own rewards, but a moron otherwise
Comment from : C B

Asking this question so I can understand: With the world around us getting ever more uncertain or VUCA, how can an executive operate on a decade long timeframe?
Comment from : Taner Girgin

Communication is the key to business success, so they need to use advanced communication systems such as VoIP and learn ways to communicate effectively This video is very helpful in this aspect
Comment from : VoIP Business

The fact this video exists tells me I probably don't want to talk to executives

Only rule is to be subservient to Executiveskeep praising them 5 times a day even if they are idiots

Remember to use small, simple words
Comment from : Bradley White

Rule #1
Comment from : Pierre-Yves Pau

How about don't work for these executives if that's what it takes to communicate to them! Not worth my time to make them money
Comment from : Song

What I hate the most is when somebody begin to talk about the background and the importance of water for navigation It feels like that person is stealing your precious and scarce time In some levels that kind of communication is effective in order to involve the people in the task but for executives that is totally unnecessarybrYou rules doc !

Main rule: they must like you, if not, you're doomed with that set of execs

How to be a phony douche is 5 easy steps Executives are owned by their companies They’re never home due to endless business travel and must be available 24/7 Why would anyone want that?

Comment from : Piotr_KR

As an executive I can tell you it's pretty easy Have a point and get to it And no you're not getting into my inner circle Also don't flatter me
Comment from : L D

Indeed, don't talk to them for more than 5 minutes and don't bother them with the details because it would become painfully obvious how inept a lot of them really are and how they're desperately trying to hide it behind their room-sized egos

This "worshipping" of so-called Executives is nauseating They are just people, in most cases way less competent than you And they don't value you At All, other than to thanklessly work to put more money in their fat pockets Zero value people

1 Shift from a mentality of inputs, throughputs and outputs to one of outcomesbr2 Shift from a departmental perspective to a company perspectivebr3 Be excellent at being concise
Comment from : RobCH

I have never met an executive who wasn't laser focused on the 3 month quarter timeframe

Comment from : Snow White

so easy, you just increase your business acumen (this is a sarcasm, giving this advice is like saying: you need to be a bit more smarter or you have to think faster)
Comment from : prostokrasavchik

This type of mentaility others people and it doesn't really do well with the modern workforce I think it is the content being delivered that needs to be fine tuned, not adjust your integrity to "get into their inner circle" I will never feel intimidated or uncomfortable with talking to higher ups because they are no better than I am and they are ultimately a humanWhen we lose sight of that, we lose the humanity in our interactions and thus effective communication goes out of the window I agree with a lot of the things on your channel, but this was is a hard no for me
Comment from : Adrianna Guevarra

Love the list!

Nice advice This is the perfect video showing how disconnected executives are from reality
Comment from : johannesincalifornia

Imagine making an executive from the developing and Eastern worlds feel like you think you're their equal
Comment from : Cogthusiast

#2 talking to your boss like you're his peer? yeah right
Comment from : repne scasb

I am implementator and quess what I love it and do not plan changing it Executives are best positions because what they make more money ? There are people who want to be executives and they will be It doesnt mean I have to pursue this career path Once my boss tried to push me too much (he used attacking methods which doesn’t work for spme people) I said NO to him forbidden word :) I am doing my job in the same company and I am happy Remember what really matters is confidence in yourself and do not try to be someone you are not
Comment from : BolsaMB

Lol, acting like executives are some sort of gods Hahahaha They are just people
Comment from : Cracked

Thx for the reminding me why I left corporate The fundamental premise of this video, is wanting to climb the ladder - anyone preoccupied with climbing a hierachy, is unfit to be at the top of one And existentially just plain uninspiring Anyhoo, not here to rain on your parade - I sounded like that a long time ago too Good luck - remember to have fun!
Comment from : mojones79

Why would you want to impress an executive They are human beings that have the same bowl movents as you and Iwhen you think about them as “”brSuper human beings” just imagine them taking a crap
Comment from : Jan van Doren

Executives are not (all) superhumans I would not want other people to have a certain strategy to be in my orbit if I were an executive Nor is it possible or desireable if anyone would want to be in their orbit and consume their time For some jobs it may be just right to pay attention to people who are on the same level and lower in the food chain and see how you can coach them There's a lot of value in not looking upward too much but instead empower juniors or those who may have talent but are hindered by circumstances or beliefs Having said all that, most points do resonate When you are talking with business leaders they can give you the feeling you waste their time if you're not on point or talk too much My weakest point is probably point 3 "not knowing stuff real cold" and relying on slides, lists, etc It may stem from the fact I need to feel very strongly about a subject to know it by heart, and not all operational business subjects have that My strongest point is point 5 Talking with a business owner hat and not an employee mindset A way to improve may be along the line of not communicating too much about operational things and not having to rely on lists and data but more on concepts and trends When leveling up the conversation, the lists go out of the window anyway
Comment from : DJ Maarten Versteeg | Amsterdam

Only industry leading visionaries have lifetime or decade long time frames Executives only care about a few quarters ahead or a few years max That's why most CEO's are in reactive mode all the time Latest example is recent AI gold rush
Comment from : Siamak Sobhany

quite a great video, glad to this showed up in my feed new sub here!
Comment from : RW Aquarium Pages

Ahh the infamous executive, the one person in the company that has no idea how the company works, needs to have constant meetings to catch up, spends all day serving word salads, and spends the company money on dumb ideas, and last but not least STEALS from the companybrYes our guiding lightthe executive!
Comment from : C S

I don’t like that you call some of the things that turn executive off mistakes Sorry but if they are good leaders and active listeners some of these things should not matter But… executives that your are describing are not good leaders So your items make sense and are a good practice Of course I have little respect for most that make it to executive levels as I know they didn’t get their through merit but through being or acting part of the club What does that say about our executives running companies Not much I think

Good info Thank youbrBack face up

Comment from : Asish Joshi

I'm a retired UK representative at the European Technical Standards Institute and got to speak to a lot of important people That said only 3 things really mattered Do your homework so you know what you are talking about, obvious Rule 2 be confident, don't shout to add stress that a giveaway that your beginning to panic Rule 3, have a crib sheet so you don't omit anything important but don't read from a script It's acceptable to have figures written down so they are accurate your audience will appreciate that brbrI suggest you dress appropriatly I always wore a business suit, clean shirt and shoes, and I wore an ex RAF tie Amazing how many recognized it

Biggest load of trash I've ever heard
Comment from : Lucas Jackson

The worst executives are the ones who are not interested in the detail or think they know the detail Ask yourself how can you make a good decision if you are ill informed Great executives have time for people and are eager to learn your knowledge
Comment from : Darren Cunningham

Most of them are clueless That’s one of the reasons why they hire consultants And the results either never improve or get worse As for elongation, in the USA, they think in end of month and end of quarter terms at best
