4 Tips For Internal Communication With Your Team

You and your team has a job to do and this job will not be accomplished without excellent communication amongst the team. Remember these 4 tips to boost your team’s internal communication:

#1 Understand how your teammates operate.

People approach challenges and tasks differently. As a teammate, do you know how each of your teammates operate? If not, find out. Knowing how each individual member works best can help the entire team know how to best collaborate and accomplish the task at hand.

#2 Work with one another to delegate tasks appropriately.

Both during the planning phase and as you all are working through the tasks, be sure that all team members have a task that they are confident in accomplishing.

#3 Centralize the communication.

Choose a central platform so that all team members can check off tasks as they are completed. Not only does this central platform display what the tasks are and who they are assigned to, but this also enable the team to see the progress on these tasks. Knowing what the status is broadens understanding and boosts motivation so that the team can continue to collaborate effectively.

#4 Don’t forget the feedback.

Once you accomplish the job, recap with the team. Talk about what went well and what could go better next time. Be honest and respectful with this feedback, so that your team can work even more effectively on the next job. And, team leaders should be intentional and genuine about feedback and shoutouts.
