The 6 Communication Trends that You Need to Embrace as a Successful CEO in 2025

  1. It has become almost impossible to stay out of politics: never let yourself be drawn into a political discussion unprepared.
  2. “Perception is reality”: be authentic not only personally, but also in communication with stakeholders – this way people will know your truth and not make up their own.
  3. Use AI skills for C-level communication: not only know which AI tools are available for you but also be prepared to handle risks.
  4. Respect the increasing role of influencers: sort your LinkedIn contacts according to the number of followers and add “super spreaders”.
  5. Cultivate your own personal brand: A company’s reputation increasingly depends on the personal reputation of the CEO and his direct reports.
  6. Harness the power of (moving) images: Words wear out, images stick in mind.
