5 Communication Copouts That Derail Team Performance

Do you ever leave meetings with your team feeling frustrated? Thinking that communication problems are preventing you from getting things done?

If you’re like 99.9% of us, you know the pain.

Building strong team communication isn’t easy. You want differing opinions, but you don’t want tension between team members. You want honesty, but you don’t want insensitivity. You want everyone to feel heard, but you can’t let debate over ideas spiral out of control.

So, how do you find the right balance?

It takes work, but it’s worth it. Successful team communication can lead to breakthroughs, innovation and improved results. Poor communication can derail a team and undermine everyone’s performance.

In this webinar, Craig Weber, author of the groundbreaking book, Conversational Capacity: The Key To Building Successful Teams That Perform When The Pressure Is On and founder of the Weber Consulting Group, will reveal five communication copouts that contribute to team dysfunction – and how to overcome them. He’ll show managers and team members alike the behaviors that lead to effective team communication and high-performing teams.

In this webinar you will learn:

• What behaviors can shut down open dialogue
• Why being too nice or agreeable can actually hurt a team
• How your expertise can stifle the conversation
• Why valuable opinions are often dismissed, and
• Why other great ideas never even come to surface
