A Different Look at Team Handbooks and Agreements

February 13, 2023Nina KovnerPodcast

One way to reduce team discourse, leadership overwhelm and angst is to have clear, simple, aligned, and compassionate communication. And while that sounds like, duh Nina, the truth is it’s one of the most common reasons discourse is created in the first place, and why people quit. Unmet expectations, broken promises, or misaligned expectations come back to communication. In this episode Nina shares the Team Handbook framework they created for clients of Passion Squared, along with some crucial details and context. Whether it’s team, tenant, or client agreements, the more clear you are on your brand, the more clear your communications will be. Healthy communication, happy people.
