The article discusses the importance of effective communication in local government and how it has become overly specialized and formalized. The author argues that all staff members should be empowered to be effective communicators, rather than relying solely on a few specialists. They suggest that communication skills should be a requirement for all staff, similar to the emphasis placed on health and safety. The article encourages local governments to adopt a model that provides basic communication knowledge and skills for all staff, in addition to specialized communication teams.
