Learning Checklist for Fostering Meaningful Conversations in Teams. HRDO 561

Team learning is the "collaborative effort to achieve a common goal within the group. The aim of team learning is to attain the objective through dialogue and discussion." Great leaders today are engaging with employees in a way that resembles ordinary conversation versus commands. To host successful organizational conversations, I will develop a learning checklist for fostering meaningful conversations in teams:

1. Talk with employees, instead of ordering.
2. Communicate personally and transparently with employees, even when out of reach. (HBR)
3. Build trust through authentic leadership. (HBR)
4. Be attentive and listen well. Know when to stop talking as a leader and listen. (HBR)
5. Conduct 360 reviews to obtain feedback on leadership styles. (HBR)
6. Interact with employees versus speaking at employees. (HBR)
7. Expand roles and allow employees to become cross functional. (HBR)
8. Give storytellers a space to communicate stories about the company
