Philippe Weiss, president of Seyfarth at Work, appeared on WGN Radio Chicago’s "Noon Business Lunch" on August 4, 2026, where he discussed how business leaders should determine the right time to communicate important information to employees, stakeholders, and the market.

Weiss explained that communication strategies should be tailored to the circumstances, balancing transparency, preparation, and competitive considerations.
