Sorry for the delay in posting. I have been beyond busy lately and I am sorry that I can not get rid of my picture, which i uploaded by mistake.
When communicating to employees, make sure you are clear and not confusing and make sure everyone is relaying the same message. It seems simple enough, but this is often not done. Sending employees in two different directions is very counterproductive and a waste of valuable resources. This gets you nowhere, the employee can be angry for doing work for nothing and leave a bad vibe around. If its project between a couple of supervisors and an employee or two or three, it is easy enough to pull them aside and discuss it with everyone what is to be done, so everyone is set off in the right direction.
