There are several reasons why over communication occurs in businesses: - Fear of Missing Out (FOMO): Team members and managers often over-communicate to avoid missing out on critical information. - Lack of Clarity: When roles and responsibilities are not clearly defined, employees may over-communicate to cover all bases. - Technological Tools: The proliferation of digital communication tools like emails, instant messaging, and collaboration platforms can lead to an overload of information. - Micromanagement: Managers who micromanage their teams often feel the need to communicate excessively to maintain control.
