Communication is king when completing any project. When leading a team, ensure that all stakeholders are on the same page on the scope and the deliverables required. To achieve this you need to have regular updates, centralized information, and transparent expectations.

Increasing collaboration means also increasing productivity. To enhance collaboration for your team, you could consider using open channels of communication or having regular team-building activities. 

5. Efficient Meeting Management

Meetings can be notorious time-wasters if not managed properly. What works best is implementing a company culture that only has meetings when necessary. To implement this, you can create a flowchart that details when it is and isn’t necessary to have a meeting.
