Corporate Leadership Tools: Team Communication

Nothing makes a corporate team as strong and productive as effective communication. It’s about how team members speak to each other and how each team speaks to another. Effective team communication is about so much more than words, though. It’s about how teams function on a daily basis and how they share and disseminate information. Communication boosts:

• Morale
• Engagement
• Productivity
• Collaboration
• Cooperation

Communication in corporate settings moves in multiple directions – peer-to-peer, leader-to-team member, and up-and-down. The following team communication tools can help you and your corporate groups run like the well-oiled machines you need them to be:

• Task Assignments: Clarity for team members usually starts right here. Online and paper ask boards with room for detailed descriptions let each team member know exactly what their job is and avoids overworking one team member and underutilizing another. They also avoid confusion and help team members stay focused and on-task.
• Productive Meetings: Everyone knows the dread of meetings held only for meetings’ sake. When your team hosts meetings, make them intentionally productive. Ensure everyone has a voice, meetings have a clear goal, and collaboration is at the heart of every group gathering.
• Peer Development: This follows the principle of each one, teach one. Peer to peer support means team members do more than encourage each other. It means they impart skills and share knowledge and boost each other through project development. A good way to foster peer development is with ongoing opportunities for professional development.  

Our team activities, events, and challenges are designed to foster the strong communication and effective collaboration your team needs. We can help with that.
