McChrystal Group – Transparency Through Constant Communication

Although I never served with him, I remember CSM Michael Hall from his time as the Command Sergeant Major of USASOC and JSOC and since his retirement we’ve spoken several times as he’s worked with various defense contractors such as Colt. He’s a very personable guy and when he’s talking I want to listen. That’s why I wanted to share a post he authored for McChrystal Group’s blog. It’s entitled, “Transparency Through Constant Communication.” The article centers around this concept, “Does my boss, and two levels below me know the same things that I know at the same time I do?”

CSM Hall goes into why this is so important and gives the reader a few helpful guidelines on how to become a more effective communicator. Read the whole post at mcchrystalgroup.com/content/transparency-through-constant-communication-0.

Thanks DF for pointing this out!

    Too many managers not enough leaders in the world. It’s something EVERYONE needs to understand to be a leader.

    I’ve worked for both of those guys and have worked very close with CSM(R) Hall in the past and that guy is most definitely someone you strain to listen to at every opportunity. Both of them are great leaders, awesome article!
