## Resource

Have you ever stopped to think about your own communication preferences? Do you expect email replies within hours? Do you prefer phone, video, email, or in person meetings? Or maybe you dread the ambiguous "check-in call" on your calendar? Here's the thing: unspoken preferences often lead to unnecessary friction and misunderstandings within teams. Leaders need to discuss communication styles with peers and team members openly—especially when working with new hires or cross-functional teams. You'll learn how small adjustments, like renaming meeting titles or sharing pre-reads in advance, can dramatically improve team dynamics and decision-making. Discover the questions every leader should ask to streamline communication and create a more collaborative, productive, and enjoyable workplace. Take this step to remove friction—your team will thank you. How you speak is how you lead. Want to study this with other leaders?
