It just amazes me sometimes about the lack of communication in organizations. I've been hearing and reading more and more lately about the receding lines of this most basic leadership function.
What does it take to communicate to your folks? An eight page newsletter? Town hall meetings? Video's from the CEO? NO!
All leaders should read, "Help Them Grow, Or Watch Them Go", by Julie Winkle Giulioni and Beverly Kaye. All it takes is short, casual conversations. No meetings. 10 minutes here, 10 minutes there.
Face it. You're already having conversations throughout the day. So this isn't taking any time away. It's just redirecting it to something more powerful. You don't need a resource guide, to-do lists, or checklists. Just simple open conversation.
