Hello out there, loyal leaders. Capt. Fletch back again for a chilly edition — at least by Las Vegas standards — of the Leadership Toolbox. Last time, we wrapped up 2022 and a five-part series on team development. We examined the important steps leaders should take when terminating or ending a team so that everyone receives closure, regardless of whether the team disbands or moves on to a new mission. This month, I discuss another common word used in virtually every industry: communication.
As I have mentioned, I am working on a master’s degree in construction management, currently finishing my 11th of 13 classes. The topic for this one? Managing through communication. Communication and safety have a lot in common: We often talk about their importance, but do not always follow through.
