EP 82: Communication Gaps at Work… with Kelly Price

Prioritize honest and direct communication from day one, especially during onboarding, to set clear expectations for roles and company culture.

Actively seek feedback, even if uncomfortable, by asking specific questions like, 'What's one thing you'd like to see me do differently or better?'

Leaders should foster a 'servant mentality,' viewing their role as supporting and developing their team members, which ultimately drives company success.

Implement structured and regular one-on-one meetings (e.g., monthly 20-minute sessions) to facilitate ongoing feedback and career development discussions.

Empower employees to take ownership of their career growth by encouraging them to identify their goals and advocate for their advancement.

Recognize that turnover and declining employee morale are strong indicators of underlying communication issues within the organization.
