3.Utilise technology: Leverage technology tools like project management software, messaging platforms, and video conferencing tools to facilitate seamless communication across teams.
4.Active listening: Actively listen to your team members’ concerns, ideas, and feedback. Pay attention to non-verbal cues as well, such as body language or tone of voice during conversations.
5.Provide constructive feedback: Regularly provide constructive feedback on team members’ communication skills while highlighting areas for improvement. Offer guidance on how they can effectively convey their messages.
