Let's talk COMMUNICATION!
If you are a leader or any team member you need to read this!
Communicating with someone who is extremely PASSIVE is very challenging.

When working in a group environment, pay attention to these attributes.

Passive communicators hate conflict.They will avoid disagreements.They often rely on others to lead even if they disagree with the plan. Passive communicators have a hard time saying "NO" and they struggle setting boundaries.

This doesn't mean they don't have amazing ideas. It just means they lack confidence to speak up.

People who communicate this way often feel unseen, disrespected.This causes a lot of internal stress and resentment.

Here are some ways to approach them.
1)Keep in mind that you will always have to initiate the conversation.
2)Reflect what you are perceiving and would like clarity for direction and peace of mind. Also ,remind them that their opinion matters and you need their insight.
3)Ask what would be helpful in the future to best help each other communicate and explain both your needs.

The energy of tension and stress felt at work can leave you paralyzed in your own perception of what you THINK might be happening!
Stress is our body and mind connection telling us that something is wrong.Its a fear of what might happen.The worse case scenario!
This can be as simple as not knowing the deadlines, not having enough information, waiting on others to complete their project so you can complete yours and so on....
This energy and tension is felt in the eye rolls, the huffs and puffs from coworkers, whispers of frustration and people stomping off.
WE FEEL THIS WEIGHT EVERYWHERE. IT GETS HEAVY!
As a leader you need to become aware of this energy.
You need to be able to ask the right questions and seek the truth to lift the energy and tension so the team can be united.
How can you do this in the simplest way?
Ask yourself these questions;
What does my team need to know right now?
What is the goal/project and what is everyones role?
What information do I have?
What information do I need?
How many people is this for?
Who is working together? Who is not?
How can I resolve some conflict now that I have more information?
Getting to the source of the stress and tension needs quality communication.
Clear communication can be the difference in making a difference in productivity, getting others to create suggestions, finding if things are helpful or not and making room for understanding each other and what they value most.
Clear communication leads to a confident team, the energy shifts.Intentions are spoken and the teams driven work together.
Leadership is asking questions to create growth.
