Organizational transformation can occur only when the conditions within the organization are such that the company's shareholders and employees at all levels are pulled together by the leaders of the company to form confident, co-creative, connected and confident teams. These teams communicate and care about the company's successes and areas for improvement. They also care about both external and internal relationships with suppliers, clients and the community. If these conditions do not occur, then the viability of the company, including its well-being and survivability, is at risk and most likely will not sustain.

To create the necessary teams to carry out the corporate Vision-teams composed of co-creators that work together in harmony--true leaders of the company must be sought out, developed and trained to identify and work with the required teams. It's these leaders that will serve as the link between the past, current and future direction of the company as they guard and protect the company's future, and to do so, they must be able to achieve a vested following and interest of the company's teams through clear, precise, caring and respectful communication. Some key elements of communication a leader should be adept at include :

* Possessing a comprehensible picture of what he or she needs other people to comprehend;

* Determining precisely what items call for special prominence;

* Adapting the communication to meet the abilities and needs of the audience;

* Taking into account how he or she feels regarding the people receiving the communication, and vice versa;

* Utilizing the simplest form possible to share the communication;

* Sharing one thought at a time, step-by-step;

* Providing contrast as he or she shares recognized and unidentified variables;

* Building mechanisms for real-time, dynamic interaction and criticism.

Assuming a skilled leader will have, or be trained to develop, these elements of communication, the required communication coming from a successful leader-one who will gain the trust and required contribution of teams within a company-break down as follows:
