Business Consultant: <b> Some corporations shun the use of executive titles </b> because they fear that the use of titles indicating position in the corporation tends to inhibit communication up and down the corporate hierarchy  Since an executive who uses a title is treated with more respect by outsiders, however, <b> use of a title can facilitate an executive' s dealings with external businesses </b>
Clearly, corporations should adopt the compromise of encouraging their executives to use their corporate titles externally but not internally, since even if it is widely known that the corporation' s executives use titles outside their organization, this knowledge does not by itself inhibit communication within the corporation
The first describes a policy for which the consultant seeks to provide a justification; the second is a consideration the consultant raises as part of that justification.
