Keep space to change your priorities and iterate your plan. What matters more is the actual communication. Or they won’t care, and it doesn’t matter. People will work out if you’re posting most weeks, about monthly, or each sprint. You’ll discover how the conversation plays out: how people engage, respond, challenge, or enquire. You’ll find the weeks that it makes sense to post something, or the ones where it makes sense to wait a week. Having a content plan, and a regular rhythm is really useful.īut your audience need to know the content – not the plan.ĭon’t start with a commitment. Having a structured communication approach is important.
Is this even my communication style? Does this work for me as a leader? Is it working for my team? Some will be a complete overload of comms from other teams or functions, and then you’re throwing more content on the fire. Maybe we should have done this fortnightly instead? Did I put too much in the first one? I can’t break the pattern this early! You use some fillers, and the content quality takes a dip instead. The second one will be light on content, as it turns out that not much new has happened yet. Or it’ll be delayed under the pressure of waiting until it’s great before starting. The first weekly note will be good, but not great, because it’s the first. These are good, important plans it’s foundational for leaders to consistently provide engaging and timely insights.īut I don’t think these particular plans should be advertised. I’m hearing leaders planning to start writing a weekly note, start a monthly newsletter, or refresh their town halls.
I’m quickly hearing a theme around team communication and connection, as the leaders in my network refine their approaches to hybrid work and distributed teams. I’m fresh back at work for 2023, and feeling the energy as people set their mind to the year ahead.
