Once again, one of your employees is standing in your office complaining about a colleague badmouthing others.
One employee hardly ever speaks. Her emails however come across as brusque and condescending. She actually is annoyed, because others constantly misinterpret her emails.
Your colleague on the management team has “good tips” up his sleeve, which he keeps offering without being asked.
And just last week, two employees once again talked past each other. They frequently find themselves caught up in “I thought you were handling that” and “But that’s not how I understood it” situations, which waste a lot of time and energy and don’t move the project forward.
… if your team could complete tasks more efficiently!
Because misunderstandings wouldn’t arise in the first place—or employees would quickly resolve them on their own – and you wouldn’t have to keep acting as the go-to person for complaints.
… if minor and major misunderstandings could be avoided?
Wouldn't everyone come to the office feeling happier if you and your employees could communicate without causing any friction? Instead everyone could focus on their actual tasks again and help the company progress!
… you could speak on equal footing.
And then there are the feedback interviews, employee reviews/annual performance reviews. These are so important because they’re supposed to be an opportunity to discuss your collaboration with employees as equals. In theory. But often you get the feeling that your counterpart can’t accept your comments, and in the end, you’re sleft wondering what exactly they are criticizing about you. In that case, wouldn’t it have been better to skip the conversation altogether?
… if your feedback led to productive, open conversations.
Conversations that would leave both of you satisfied, because it’s clear to you both what you expect from each other!?
Do you want this kind of open, clear, and efficient communication for your team?
We’ll identify together which situations in your day-to-day work consistently cause frustration and which topics are relevant to you and your employees. I’ll develop a tailored seminar program for you, where you and the other participants will experience valuable key insights that apply to your daily lives and you will take practical lessons back home and to the office.
