Such misalignment erodes employee trust, reduces buy‑in for strategic initiatives, and can impair organizational performance. Who is involved: Employees, startup and corporate leaders, and the LinkedIn platform as a source of strategic cues.. Likely next: Firms may adopt more transparent internal strategy channels; leaders may limit strategic pivots based on social‑media feeds; demand for structured communication tools could rise.. The Le Monde article highlights a growing gap between how strategy is formulated and how it is perceived on the ground. Executives who adjust plans based on fleeting LinkedIn posts leave staff uncertain about direction, which can hinder execution of reorganizations and broader change initiatives. The piece calls for clearer internal communication and less reliance on external social‑media cues for strategic decisions.
