Teams Can’t Over Communicate

What is the role and impact of communication in team building?

The Team Doc Says…

Communication is a huge issue, not just for teams but for organizations. Most teams don’t communicate enough. That causes misunderstandings and conflict to occur. Team members can’t assume that others will automatically know what is going on in the team or how something should be completed. Expectations and accountability needs to be communicated clearly.
