Prioritizing internal publics
Unclear about strategy but
willing to help.
Around 50% of
employees do not know
what the strategy is.
Clear and willing.
These people are hot
shots warm to
company aspirations and
fired up to achieve them.
Unclear and unwilling.
Not sure about where
company is going, but
drag their feet anyway.
Clear but disagree.
Resist because they
disagree.
