## Resource

Communications is a critical management tool to build an aligned team. Consider the challenges when done poorly: misinterpretations, incorrect assumptions, disengagement, mistrust, and resistance to change… Topics include: ↳ What internal communications are needed to power a well run organization? ↳ How do you know if your internal communications are "good enough"? What are the symptoms of a team when there is not enough or too much?, and ↳ How do you create trust and psychological safety so people feel comfortable communicating freely... but colleagues have had negative experiences with each other?
