Instead of communicating DOWN to your employees do this instead

I hear executives state time and time again that they don't know what's really causing:

Sales to decline
Low productivity and performance
Organization is slow to get on board with changes 
Departments working in silos
Employee turnover skyrocketing

In today’s workplace, almost 1 in 3 employees don’t trust their employers so it’s not shocking that organizations aren't understanding what's causing these challenges.

What’s one of the key drivers of this?

Leaders are communicating down to their employees.

They tell them information and it’s a one way, down. 

There’s no room for their employees to

Ask questions
Voice concerns
Provide feedback
To make recommendations to improve processes or procedures

It doesn’t work.

What does work?  Communicating WITH them.

When you communicate with your team, you:

Are fully present without distraction
Not only listen, but you also hear what they say 
Ask questions to gain understanding
Explain the “why’s”
Teach them
Learn from them
Follow up with them

By doing so, you build trust. 

And with that trust you will:

Start hearing from your employees
Save time
Increase productivity

And your results flourish.
