Stop Blaming Tech for Bad Communication — It’s You

Many leaders think that the newest tools and fancy tech will magically fix productivity and make teamwork effortless. The hard truth is that: it won’t.
Without a clear communication agreement and shared rules everyone actually follows, even the most expensive apps are just digital chaos in disguise.
Here’s what really makes a team click.

🎙️ Topics:

  • Technology is only half the success – why tools alone aren’t enough
  • The communication agreement as the foundation of teamwork
  • Technology vs. organizational culture – what really drives effectiveness
  • Clear communication rules as a path to higher productivity
  • How to create a good communication agreement – the Nozbe example
  • Synchronous vs. asynchronous communication – finding the right balance
  • Communicating through tasks – why “Task me” works better than messaging
  • Order in projects and tasks as part of team culture
  • How to sustain a healthy communication culture in your team
