Communication Tips

It is very easy to misinterpret emails and chats, so do not make any assumptions and be empathic.
Follow meeting protocol like preparing the agenda and providing the meeting summary to everyone.
Do not disturb people by requesting them to pick up the phone unless really needed. Do not expect an immediate response to chat and email.
Repetitive tasks can be documented to ensure that they can be done by whoever is available.
Do not rely on knowledge inside one person's head, ensuring it is written down and shared.
Use a checklist to track the team’s progress, sharing it with others.
