Communicate Powerfully with the Team

Taskforces thrive, says Colin McLaren, if leaders constantly keep the team up to date, up to speed and well briefed. 

Course Overview 

Colin McLaren explains to Eve Ash why taskforce leaders need to resource them teams well. Above all, leaders need to get the result by continuously sharing information and providing the reason for why the investigation is occurring. This can be done with relevant graphics or conveying a problem’s bottom line. Leaders will retain team loyalty if they keep everyone up to date, up to speed, often at the same level.
