Reflection Questions:

Chapter 14 — We seem to communicate about everything these days...except how we communicate with each other. What are your biggest communication challenges as a team? Set a meeting with your team annually to discuss how to handle these issues while also addressing channel selections, response times, and reducing volume.

Chapter 15 — Do you have clear guidance in place for your team to improve quality and reduce quantity of digital communication?

Chapter 16 — Are you being intentional with meetings to foster greater efficiency and emotional connection as a team? Do you also recognize the value of a Communication Compact (a social contract that outlines expectations and consequences of communication within your team) to guide your team for the day-to-day?
