Communication Exercises

Improve your team with communication exercises

The gathering, sharing and using of information is the life blood of your business. Successful small businesses effectively manage the information that flows into and out of their business.

Information moves throughout organizations from several directions including, from the top, from lower levels as well as being ‘pumped’ around to all team members.

Information may relate to the processing of a customer request, ordering stock for your business or organizing the agenda for your next team get together. Whatever the information is, if it is relevant to your business, it is important and must be managed.

Communication is more than just issuing an email, memo or newsletter and expecting other people to both understand and act upon what you have said.

To communicate… we share.

We share information and lots of it.

Communication exercises

We share our personal and working lives with other people which means that everybody has an interesting story to tell.

Take the time to listen
You may be enlightened at the depth of knowledge and experience that your employees have.

Take the time to show your interest
Your team members will be interested in your grasp of issues outside of your business environment. Talk about other things as it helps to build effective communication.

Make sharing stories a regular event
Don't just do it as a one off. Turn your communication exercises into get togethers that happen often. Maybe after your monthly social sporting nights you could meet back at your place. Let the free spirits soar!
