When I was trained & studying to become a corporate communication professional, in the 1st class, something was said that I can never forget. “Not communicating is still communication. We cannot NOT communicate”!
Public Relations basically evolved into Corporate Communication because with PR, the focus was on the external public. But then, things cannot progress if the internal public is ignored.
A lot of people do not actually know what Team work is. They think it’s just being in a team. What they fail to understand is that not communicating with team members is still communication. If maybe an information is not given to one, they could consider it as their opinions are not needed thus, feel irrelevant and become ineffective.
You can’t say that’s not what you meant. You could solve this by communicating effectively. Making sure information passed is what is intended. Do not minimise any information. Pass every information and receive a feedback. If it’s positive, you are communicating properly. A lot of team leaders and companies ignore this. It’s not about having workers, it’s about letting them be effective. And effective communication can solve this.
