A Yes … means a commitment is given and expectations are set. Wheels you can’t see turn gears you don’t know, people you’ve never met set…
Yeah, yeah. Everyone talks about improving internal communications. They talk about it in management meetings and around the water cooler, the talk about not knowing what’s going on, about not getting the right kind of feedback, about not getting any kind of feedback, about having to tap into the grape vine, about Chinese whispers and picking their way through the rumour mill that fills the vacuum when there’s nothing coming from the top.
The problem … what works when there’s only three of you (overheard conversations) doesn’t work when there’s more.
Good communications isn’t a passive process … so build communication lines.
Weekly round-ups. Sit on desks to chew the fat and share stories about what’s going on where. Connect people who don’t know they’re at either end of the same thread. Break down the silos. Eat together. Celebrate successes with the widest group.
