In this Leadership Launchpad episode, I sit down with LaPora Lindsey, an organizational communication expert who has worked with companies across various industries. We dive into the critical issue of communication breakdowns within organizations that lead to a lack of trust, efficiency, and information sharing.

LaPora shares her insights on the crucial role managers play in facilitating two-way communication and bridging the gap between different levels of the organization. She introduces the ACT framework (Awareness, Communication, Transparency) that can help individuals at all levels make an impact and improve communication.

We discuss the importance of new managers focusing on increasing self-awareness and understanding their team members' processes and workload. LaPora emphasizes the need for clear communication of expectations, preferred methods, and availability to foster trust and transparency within the team.

Join us as we explore the ripple effects of cultural elements causing breaks in communication and trust, and discover how frontline managers can strengthen relationships with their team members and supervisors. If you're looking to enhance your leadership skills, build a strong team, and create a culture of open communication, this episode is for you!
