Effective communication is paramount for success in today's fast-paced workplace. It's a cornerstone of professional success, requiring both technological adaptability and a commitment to open and clear dialogue. By addressing the challenges of miscommunication and embracing solutions that cater to diverse needs, teams can enhance collaboration and productivity.

Sometimes a communication breakdown doesn’t occur by what is said. It happens when something is NOT said. Many times, people hold back their communication out of fear of looking foolish or wrong in front of their peers or leader. When an employee can’t seem to move forward on their responsibilities and is unwilling to communicate, you often need to probe deeper… be empathetic and build trust.

While some may see direct communication as rude or harsh, others appreciate it when a message is delivered in a straightforward way. The solution comes from establishing clarity and expectations in the type of communications that are delivered and received in the workplace.

Because of the speed of today’s workplace environment, and the ongoing push to “multitask,” we often create unwanted communication barriers - especially between different personality styles. Too often our need to be productive gets in the way of our communication, and in the way of that productivity itself.

Sometimes, communication isn’t just about what’s said. It’s often non-verbal communication that speaks volumes about who we are and the quality of work we put in. While workplaces have become more flexible, sometimes that flexibility creates too much comfort.

Each of our different experiences and expectations are why learning to communicate across generations is so important. The reality is that each generation comes with its own rules for the workplace. Using the M.E.E.T.® approach is like having a coach helping us through the process. That way we create shared understanding, new agreements, and clear expectations.

It can benefit you and everyone around you.

A conflict between two or more employees is causing problems. For most managers or supervisors, the toughest part of dealing with conflict is making the decision to do something about it. So, how do you work with employees to resolve team conflict?

We all dread it. It's one of the toughest responsibilities of a manager/leader. You must terminate an employee because your organization is downsizing. How well you do depends a lot on your preparation. So… what do you do?

We have to rely on and work with others in order to achieve results. The problem is that many work environments are not conducive to positive relationships. Instead, they employ the GOTcha approach. If someone does something wrong, then they think it is their job to point it out and say, “GOTcha!” While focused on the mistake, they are inadvertently reinforcing the negative behavior.
