Uncomfortable topics not being discussed
Does it seem that your team avoids problems, difficult subjects or objections? That is no cause for celebration. According to Entrepreneur.com, avoiding uncomfortable topics may indicate that employees are either afraid or simply not motivated to share their issues or constructive criticism. This often leads to problems being ignored, unresolved conflicts, and stagnation in team development.
Frequent misunderstandings and conflicts
On the other hand, too much conflict may also signal poor internal communication. If team members are constantly arguing, miscommunicating, making mistakes, and ending up in disputes, the root cause may well be ineffective communication practices.
Unclear boundaries between team roles and responsibilities
While flexibility and mutual support are important, the roles and responsibilities of each team member must be clearly defined. If conflicts arise about who is responsible for what, or if there is confusion during project handovers, it is a sign that your internal communication needs improvement.
Lack of a shared vision
If your team does not have a shared vision, if there is no clear collective direction or sense of purpose, the issue lies with management (that is, with you). One of the key responsibilities of a leader is to convey a shared vision and inspire the team to pursue it together.
