The Pain of What Goes Unsaid: 
Four Ways Poor Workplace Communication Affects Your Productivity

Communication. We've all heard a thousand times how important it is, and how a lack of it can kill a relationship. But even when it exists, if the quality is poor, the results can prove as frustrating as an English speaker trying to explain something to someone who only speaks German. Even those of us who DO speak the same language can be confused by differences as trivial as accents or word usage. 
 

Announcing the Publication of Laura Stack's 8th Book! FASTER TOGETHER: Accelerating Your Team’s Productivity


There are more roadblocks to productivity today than ever before. Everyone who works deals with countless emails, constant communication, cascading deadlines, and seemingly endless meetings. These can be managed efficiently, or they can be a huge time suck. When you’re surrounded by slow-moving co-workers, you’re stuck in a traffic jam of sorts. What makes the difference isn’t individuals working harder or faster or smarter, but “teaming well.”


 


Change is anything but predictable and it’s moving more rapidly than ever before. One of the most valuable job skills to excel at today is knowing how to change. Some changes we can control, others we can influence, and some situations we simply can’t. So we must get more agile in not only adapting to change, but also embracing it. By better understanding the change process and applying key strategies, you will be able to more effectively manage reactions, increase effectiveness individually and within your team, and become a more influential change agent in unstable times. Discover how to inspire your teams to take accountability for dealing with change initiatives and adopt new tools for managing the challenges related to communication, productivity and resistance throughout your organization.
