Leadership in business includes being aware of when teams are in transition. A team in transition can mean:
A new team member is added or a whole new team is forming.
When the team is facing a new set of circumstances or challenges, for example around an organization or in a change in the physical environment.
When something dramatic has changed in the marketplace.
During these types of transition, it makes sense to spend some time talking about how teams are working together – how people are being and what must change - in addition to talking about what your plan is and what the team is doing to get the work done.
Well facilitated conversations can bring greater understanding how certain habits of either communication or miscommunication can impact high performance.
The key to productivity, profitability, and having a successful team dynamic is directly related to an appropriate amount of time spent on a regular basis for team building and team communication. Listen here for more insights on this subject.
