Leadership webinars are passé. Think of communicating through more dynamic formats.

• Think like a content creator. When you blog, or share short videos or even an internal podcast, people can leave pointed comments, reactions and feedback. You can engage with them as part of these threads.

• Make time for smaller, more intimate conversations on focussed topics. Aim for deep conversations and thoughtful questions and answers, especially since the “content” is now out of the way. 

• Even if you continue to do large conversations, don’t make it one-way traffic. Don’t run a 45-minute presentation, while people type questions in the chat that someone else answers. See below for an example of AMAs that GitLab CEO Sid Sijbrandij runs.
