You delegate something to your team, or explain a new project, and then… watch as it lands right back on your desk.

Learning how to communicate your vision (for the business, a project or even a simple task) to your team (and have them take OWNERSHIP of it!) is one of the most common challenges small business owners face, no matter how long they’ve been in business.

After years of leading teams and working closely with thousands of women business owners, Suzi Dafnis has come to understand that changes how your team responds to you:

The problem doesn’t lie within your vision… it lies in the translation.

In this episode, Suzi shares a practical three-part framework that will help you communicate any project, task, or campaign to your team in a way that creates real ownership (instead of vacant stares and nodding).

Here’s What You’ll Discover in the Episode: 

• Why even capable, well-intentioned teams bring the work back to you (and what’s actually causing their behaviour)
• The difference between explaining your vision and enrolling your team in it
• What actually creates real team accountability and ownership
• Why you should never, ever over-explain while briefing your team
• A three-part framework for how to communicate your vision to your team (that works for any project, campaign, or goal)
• Real examples of what effective team communication sounds like in practice
• Why a brief is one of the most underused leadership tools in small business (IF you do it right!)
• How to stop micromanaging by getting clear before the conversation starts
• What becomes possible for your business when your team is genuinely enrolled (and excited) with where the business is going
