Episode 20 - Identifying team communication preferences for better collaboration

This week on The High Five, we dive into the power of identifying team communication preferences for better collaboration through the lens of Brett's most recent Same Page post, Identifying team communication preferences for better collaboration.

Every team member brings a unique style to the table, and understanding these differences can unlock trust, productivity, and alignment. Brett explores key takeaways from Mark Murphy’s four communication styles framework, with insights on how tailoring communication leads to smoother teamwork, fewer misunderstandings, and better results.

But first, a quick look at recent happenings! Brett just returned from the Digital PM Summit, where he showcased Teamangle and handed out a “There is no AI in Team” shirt—right after an AI-themed presentation. Plus, the Teamangle cards are officially ready to order!
