The standard of communication is set by the leader. If you want your team to communicate clearly, confidently, and alignedly, model how to improve communication within a team. -Explain your intent.-Simplify the message.-Check for understanding.-Listen actively.-Align daily.

Effective leaders simplify the message. They speak in clear, concise terms that everyone can understand. Then, they ask the team for a readback to ensure they communicated effectively, so the team understands and is aligned on what they need to do.

When communication is done effectively, up, down, and across the chain of command, teams don’t just hear the plan. They understand it. They can take ownership and execute it with confidence and speed.

When you subordinate your ego, it doesn’t make you look weak. It demonstrates your strength, confidence and leadership to put the overall team and the strategic mission first.

Take ownership. Don't just say ownership. Taking ownership requires action, not just words.

Start small. Life will give you opportunities to train if you are looking for them. Practice detachment and leadership in the small moments, so that you are prepared to lead and win.
