Structural and civil engineers put significant efforts on the foundations of skyscrapers or tall buildings. If you do not get that foundation right, that project is imperiled because nothing else matters. Simply, the foundations of buildings determine their strength, durability, and reliability.
Interestingly, when building high-performing teams, the foundation of everything is COMMUNICATION. It is upon communication that the 4 pillars of support, clarity, empathy and trust would be established. And those pillars will carry your Operations and Engagement.
Just like in civil engineering, when engineers consider the strength of materials, in building teams, the strength & quality of communication is catalytic. Improve your #communication (written, verbal, posture, etc) in your team, because until you do so, you cannot have a high-performing team.
