SWP 068: Communication is not coordination


Listen Later

Making everyone talk to each other is enough to coordinate your team?

A scenario that is way too common. A team doesn’t communicate internally and needs to deal with external teams in the organization.

When a client outside of your team asks you: “Are you talk to each other there?”

When you try to do some internal communication and they say: “Do I need to share everything I do with you? Are you my boss? (jokingly!)”

When you try to fix the mess and they say: “Are you not being too controlling?”

 When you get frustrated and simply give up trying to fix the issue.

What happens when your manager tries to fix the issue by asking everyone in the team to community what they are doing.

Why coordination goes beyond simply communicating what everyone is doing.

Why this is important and the impact on the team’s external credibility.

THE ONE TAKE AWAY FROM THIS EPISODE

  • Coordination is essential to the long-term success of your team. Letting your team communicate internally is a good start, but won’t solve the problem. You need to actively coordinate your team!
