Be The Best Part of Their Day
Supercharging Communication with Values-Driven Leadership
What’s the “secret sauce” to Supercharged Communications? Can it be quantified? Can it be taught? More than that, as a leader, who are you? What are the values you project―not just in the workplace but 24/7?
David Schreiner, Ph.D., spent years researching and speaking to executives and people in large organizations across the country to try to discover just that. The good news is he uncovered three essential elements to communication:
Engage and connect at a personal level.
Engage with intent through various mediums.
Be mission-focused through united leadership.
He also pinpointed fifteen effective strategies―principles and concepts you could begin to apply to your organization today. He created a platform of Supercharged Communications he could use as a CEO in the healthcare industry―but that could be applied no matter the sector, no matter the circumstances.
Utilizing the technique of Appreciative Inquiry―and a real and personal desire to connect with others, David Schreiner has embraced authentic leadership and distilled its best practices. Research-based and actionable, Schreiner invites the reader on a personal journey to get at the very heart of their organization―and the communications principles that can ensure readers are the best part of the day for the people they encounter.

Every day, I see how positive communication energizes people, from
sharing bright spots, to storytelling, to just saying thank you. David
Schreiner gets it. Be the Best Part of Their Day is a powerful statement on
looking at the world through the lens of what's right rather than what's
wrong. Right from his book's title, Schreiner reminds us of the difference
we can make in people's lives when we choose to approach them
with a mindset of abundance, appreciation, and love. I am grateful for
David, his message, and his sincere desire to make healthcare better.
