Staff-to-Staff Communication-Communication Given

Be nonjudgmental in your communication. If you have a team member that comes to you and asks questions, you may feel it is a question they should already know the answer to or that you have already answered it. But in order to build stronger communication with our teammates we need to support the learning of others.  Everyone doesn’t learn at the same pace and you may find yourself in a situation where you need his or her knowledge about a topic. 

We live in a society where it is easy to make snap judgments about a person. We may judge the way they dress or maybe the way they talk. However, by freely and openly communicating with others we will find that we learn more than if we are shut down because we are focused on other things. 

This means, not judging others for the questions they have or the comments they make. By allowing others to freely learn information without judgment we let our coworkers build on their own strengths instead of shutting them down.  It is critical for team morale to support each other and
this means incorporating supportive communication.  

Great teams take effort. Take time to work on your practice regularly to build quality communication and strengthen your results. For more information and to read other articles, please visit us at www.saltdpm.com.
