Trying times require managers to really lean on that trust they’ve already built with their team. I’ve found one of the best ways to do this is to keep team members in the loop and up-to-date at all times. Sharing honest communication is vital to effectively weather any storm. Empowering team members to have a voice in decision-making and take ownership in their assignments also displays a much-needed level of trust.
How do you instill trust and get the maximum out of your team in trying times?

For someone like me who works in healthcare project management and is inundated with acronyms on a daily basis, this advice from Dave Wakeman really hits home. I’ve actually gone so far as to create a dictionary of sorts that sits on my desktop for easy referral. An essential focus of project management is communication – clear and concise communication which easily gets a point across. The use of jargon can shift focus from essential goals and muddy the waters. What language is used in your business environment that you perceive as useless and annoying?

My mind has been so focused lately on the leadership failures we’ve seen during the pandemic that I often forget to think about ways that we can help our project teams move forward right now. That got me to thinking about something we often struggle within any situation: sim…
