For managers – no news is not a good news

Lisa Haneberg over at Management Craft asks a provocative question: “(As a manager) Do you have the communication practices, habits, and processes in place to ensure that you know what you need to know?”

As she rightly conveys in her post, no news is not a good news when it comes to being a manager. How true! How can a manager possibly function without having seamless and ongoing communication with his/her team members?

In the past, I have written about the power of having regular informal one-on-ones with the team members and on having right communication processes. Effective, regular and open communication with team members and superiors empower a manager with knowledge and information needed to take better decisions.

Thanks Lisa, for that thought provoking piece of post.
