SOBRE ESTE EPISÓDIO
Have you ever been completely convinced you communicated something, only to discover the team has absolutely no idea what you’re talking about? Maybe you discussed it with one person, mentioned it to someone else, thought about sending an email, and somehow your brain filed all of that under “communicated”. In this episode of Leadruption, Emma Last explores Teamnesia, the leadership habit of forgetting to tell people about a decision, change, or priority, then wondering why nobody has acted on it.
In this episode, we explore:
- What Teamnesia is, and how easily thinking about communicating something can start to feel like actually communicating it.
- Why leaders can assume a decision is widely known when only a handful of people were ever told.
- How frustration builds when teams are expected to act on information they never properly received.
- Why communication is not complete just because the message feels clear in the leader’s own head.
- A question to consider: What are you currently assuming people know simply because you know it?
Sometimes the problem is not that people are not listening.
It’s that the message never really arrived.
