Summary

As a manager, effective communication with your team is crucial for their performance and motivation. Technology can help bridge the communication divide, but it's not a replacement for a well-structured strategy. A daily stand-up meeting to check progress, empathetic feedback that acknowledges both strengths and weaknesses, and using technology in moderation are key elements of an effective communication plan. By mirroring or repeating demands as questions, asking open-ended clarifying questions, and making employees step into your shoes, you can negotiate win-win situations. Remembering to put the employee first, treating them with respect, showing appreciation, and not ascribing motives to actions are also essential for ideal team communications.
