One-on-one. One-to-many. Many-to-one. Many-to-many.
We’ve all heard these terms, but very few leaders actually train for the specific challenges and strategies each form requires. And in most organizations, communication breakdowns don’t happen because people don’t care—they happen because no one knows how to adapt to the form they’re using.
In this episode of the Revolving Change Podcast, Jorge Loebl and Joanna Edera unpack the four primary communication structures found in business, leadership, and culture—and how to use each one intentionally to get results, not confusion.
Key Insight: Every form of communication has its own risks. The moment you assume they’re all the same, you stop being effective.
This episode explores:
- Why one-on-one communication fails more often than leaders realize—and how to fix it
- The high-stakes pressure of one-to-many messaging and how to prepare for it
- How to manage and guide many-to-many dynamics in digital teams, forums, and culture
- The critical skill of delivering messages at the speed of consumption—not overwhelm

Final Thought: Communication Fails When Context Is Ignored
You can’t use the same tools for every conversation.
You can’t speak at the same pace to every audience.
And you can’t assume that being clear in your head means you were understood.
Each form of communication—especially in leadership—requires intentional preparation, audience awareness, and delivery that matches reality.
That’s not just a soft skill. It’s a system. And it can be trained.
