Welcome to Manager Tools.

First meeting with the New Direct series, Over Communicate.

This cast answers these questions.

What should I cover with my new directs?

What are the key messages to give to new team members? How can I

communicate my priorities? Well if you want answers to these and more, keep

listening. Here we go.

You asked and we delivered. On April 9th and 10th, we'll be hosting our first ever conference

event in Kansas City. We'll be there with both the effective manager and the effective

communicator conferences. You can attend one or both that's completely up to you

But if you want to see us return in 2020 we're gonna need to see a good turnout so pass on the word and let's make this event a huge success.

Register today at manager hyphen tools.com forward slash training.

See you there.

Mark when someone joins our team one of the first things we do, or the first thing we do, is we communicate very early on about our key priorities.

And one of those priorities is communication, right?

Yeah, everybody skips it because we don't have to think about it.

We all just do it.

Seems obvious, right?

Yeah, as our friend Trevor Woods often says, one of his favorite quotes is,

Don't confuse the edge of your rut with the horizon.

We all are so comfortable in our own communication we don't talk about the most important thing that

knits the organization together other than perhaps mission.
