Many people view communication as a one-way street: the leader talks, and everyone else listens. As a leader, you must realize that communication goes both ways. Effective communication is a two-way street, with the leader listening just as much as he or she talks.

When you over-communicate, you are telling your team that you are invested in their success. You are also telling them that you are available to answer any questions they may have. Over-communicating also sends a message that you are confident in your team’s ability to succeed.

Communication is one of the most important aspects of leadership. When you over-communicate, you are setting the tone for a successful, cohesive team.
