The Gap

The Challenge: Communication Breakdowns Undermine Excellence

The Challenge: Communication Breakdowns Undermine Excellence

Every university or college leader has experienced:

  • Departments working in silos with little cross-functional collaboration.

  • Faculty meetings full of voices, but little understanding.

  • Great strategies lost in translation between leadership and frontline staff.

  • Burnout and turnover from teams not feeling seen or heard.

This isn’t a competency issue—it’s a communication disconnect.

The 5 Voices system helps you unify, align, and lead—across campus and beyond.
