There are three distinct types of communication you can have in your business:
No communication – things remain in your head, leaving you as the only one who can truly get work done in the business. The trouble with this is that it leaves nobody to work on the business.
Slow Communication – this is where you strive for something akin to perfection as opposed to action followed by evaluation and refinement. Perfect is the enemy of done, and largely means your business goes nowhere, fast.
Grow Communication – this is where you learn how to empower your people through solid onboarding, a living playbook, clear expectations, and ongoing coaching.
Be careful not to fall into the trap of mistaking abdication for delegation. The latter involves the steps I outlined in the final stage above. The former is a recipe for failure and frustration for staff and leadership.
