A short YouTube monologue by Mike Andes arguing that effective communication is foundational to business success. He emphasizes that poor communication undermines talent attraction and growth, and gives a concrete recommendation: hold 15–20 minute one-on-one meetings with team members at least monthly to discuss goals and aspirations.
If you cannot communicate effectively, I don't care how strong your culture, how well you compensate people, if you don't communicate effectively, it's going to show in your attracting of talent. Communication is so effective, whether it be team meetings, WhatsApp groups, with your team having one on one meetings. I can guarantee if the only thing you take away from this video is doing a one on one meeting, at least monthly with your team members for 15 to 20 minutes, talking about their goals, their aspirations, like it'll change your business, but if you have great communication, it will affect every single aspect of the business. It'll absolutely be the lid to your growth.
