Clear communication of responsibilities: what always needs to be specified

One of the most common sources of confusion and tension in teams is a lack of clarity about who does what, by when and with what resources. This training toolkit helps participants understand the importance of clear communication of responsibilities and provides a simple but effective framework to avoid ambiguities that block progress.

It discusses the difference between ownership and delegation, how to formulate clear requests and what elements always need to be specified when setting a responsibility: action, deadline, deliverable, decision limit.

It is a highly useful session for teams working on cross-functional, remote or fast-paced projects where clarity is essential for efficiency.

🔗 Fits well with teambuilding activities involving: Team project building, collaborative organization challenges, planning simulations, role-plays and clear delineations of responsibility.
