    By navigating the 'WHY'. The why provides direction on the mission and the vision of the practice/business. Teams can always figure the 'HOW' better themselves, when the WHY is clear!

    To address conflicting communication styles while maintaining service quality: Assess styles: Use tools like DISC or Myers-Briggs to map preferences (e.g., direct vs. collaborative). Establish norms: Define clear protocols (e.g., meeting agendas, response timelines) and encourage active listening to respect diverse approaches. Train for empathy: Run workshops to build awareness of how styles impact teamwork and client interactions. Assign roles: Match communication strengths to tasks (e.g., detail-oriented team members for client reports, big-picture thinkers for strategy). Feedback loops: Hold regular check-ins to address friction early and align on client needs, ensuring consistency in service delivery. What do you think ?

    Quando uma equipa apresenta estilos de comunicação diferentes e até conflitantes, os riscos são claros: desalinhamento, retrabalho e queda na qualidade dos serviços. Veja abaixo ações práticas: Estabelecer regras claras de comunicação Promover escuta ativa e respeito mútuo Padronizar processos e entregáveis Designar um facilitador neutro Focar no cliente e nos indicadores de qualidade Desenvolver competências comportamentais Realizar reuniões de alinhamento frequentes Reavaliar a composição da equipa (se necessário)

    Para mantener la calidad del servicio a pesar de estilos de comunicación contradictorios, es clave establecer estrategias que fomenten la claridad y la colaboración: ✅ Definir protocolos de comunicación → Establecer guías claras para la interacción interna y con clientes. ✅ Capacitación en comunicación efectiva → Entrenar al equipo en escucha activa y resolución de conflictos. ✅ Uso de herramientas digitales → Implementar plataformas que centralicen la información y reduzcan malentendidos. ✅ Fomentar una cultura de feedback → Promover la retroalimentación constructiva para mejorar la comunicación. ✅ Alineación con objetivos comunes → Recordar al equipo la importancia de la calidad del servicio como prioridad.

To ensure this flow even in the midst of breaks/difficulty in communication; _The management should create an enabling environment that fosters cooperation amongst the staff. _The manager should create sense of responsibility by allowing the team members own the projects. This way, top service delivery can continue to thrive

    Inconsistent communication kills customer trust faster than any technical issue. To maintain top-tier service, align your team without silencing their strengths. Baseline Rules Set universal service language (tone, response time, escalation paths). Style Mapping Identify each team member’s natural style and assign roles accordingly. Sync Ritual Daily 10-min syncs to recalibrate tone and expectations across channels. Zappos trained reps to adapt scripts without losing brand tone, contributing to their 75% repeat customer rate.

    É importante que colaboradores apreendam os costumes produtivos do time. Ajustando sua performance aos padrões orgânicos da equipe aumenta-se as chances de executarem com gosto seus papéis e assim para manterem ou elevarem a qualidade da produção. Dessa forma o time flui bem, obtém resultado desejados e extrapola metas.
