Confused teams = duplication, uncertainty and lowered
accountability, morale and results.
Teams want to be engaged, energized and contributing collaboratively, but things go off-course without clarity and direction.
Typically we find a disparity between what leaders think is clear, and what is actually clear to their teams.
A quick clarity checklist:
- Is your team truly aligned about what their core purpose is?
- Do you have a standard approach to cascade key messages consistently?
- Can all of your team members articulate in a sentence what success will look like in 12 months’ time?
- Is everyone clear on who decides what?
- Is there a mechanism to work well cross functionally?
- Do your team members know what their top three priorities are right now?
- Is everyone clear on the target team behaviors to be successful?
Q: What else helps to give clarity so that people can get on with the job?
