Some of the critical components of effective communication are ensuring that it is with good intent, kept professional, and respectful along with proof of your conversation.
No one likes a complainer!
There might be some members of your staff that like to start rumors. To avoid stories, here are some things to keep in perspective:
- Approach people with professionalism and respect
- Keep the purpose of your discussion in check with your intent
- Don’t just have a conversation about a problem, but ensure that solutions are also provided or discussed
- Be open and transparent and allow everyone in the room the opportunity to speak up and bring ideas.
- Come up with suitable solutions that the majority agree on. We have found that all-white spaces in the hierarchical chart can bring the next best thing or idea of how to do things differently.
