Executive Communication and Coaching, Adrian Cropley
One of the most privileged positions a communication professional can have in an organization, is that of the trusted advisor (Maister, Green & Galford, 2000). The trusted advisor is the next step from strategic advisor in the career path of a communication professional and defined by the International Association of Business Communicators as the Business Leader. “The communication professional at this milestone demonstrates the ability to serve at a senior peer level, leads within an organization by providing counsel, advise, coaching, and helps to set organizational direction at a strategic level” (IABC, 2020).
At this level within an organization, the communication professional is setting the standard within their organization aligned with the principles of The Global Standard of the Communication Profession (IABC, 2020). The principles of Ethics, Context, Consistency, Analysis, Strategy and Engagement are applied across the career path, however, as the business leader, there is a professional duty to set the standard for their organization and continually hold the organization and its executives to that standard. When we look at these principles, we can distill each principle to what it means to someone operating as a business leader within our profession.
