For Better Global Teams, Avoid These Common Communication Pitfalls
Clear communication drives success and collaboration, while misunderstandings undermine efficiency and sabotage team trust. According to one survey, 86% of employees say the main causes of workplace failures are inadequate collaboration and miscommunication. Projects stall, resources are wasted, and frustration builds when team members fail to connect. This challenge is amplified in global teams, where cultural differences and language barriers can hinder understanding.
In organizations today, employees come from different places and cultures, have different identities and lived experiences, and communicate in a variety of ways. With all that diversity and creativity, workplace miscommunication is common. So, how can you embrace different communication styles and leverage diversity to achieve organizational success? By addressing common pitfalls, senior leaders can help everyone work toward common goals.
