It's been a while since I've posted, and as I've been deeply enmeshed in a project for a bit over a year, am only starting to get my bearings again about what's worth discussing in the arena of internal/organizational communication.

The one thing that is striking me as interesting is the extent to which internal communication should focus on "directing and informing" people and the extent to which it is best off recognizing the need to "persuade" them. 

I believe this is generally a situational issue--but it's also one that reflects organizational culture, national cultures, and the nature of the issues at hand.

More to come--just wanted to raise the issue for now...
