If you are a Team Leader, it’s not about you anyway, it’s about your team so Stop Trying to Control Everything and you need to do is :
1. Equip Them, Give them as much info as you can. If it’s an issue you don’t want
communicated to the public yet, tell them so. If you have someone on your team who
can’t keep their mouth shut then address it with that person specifically but don’t
hinder the communication with the rest of the team just because of one loose
cannon.
2. Stop Trying to Control Everything, If you are a leader or a manager, it’s not about
you anyways. It’s about your team and you need to be doing everything you can to
keep them in the loop and aware. The more they know, the more they can help you.
Let them. Don’t get in their way. If you want them to communicate with you, you
need to communicate with them.
3. Don’t Assume They Already Know, Just because you know doesn’t mean they know. Too
often we get busy and sometimes think we have told people more than we have. Make
sure you take the time to ask people if they are clear, if they are in the know and
if they understand. Give them opportunities to voice their thoughts, listen and
respond.
