Explicitly cascading communication ensures information flows quickly, accurately, and consistently.

When decisions are clearly made, the next step is to quickly share to the team. This should happen at the team level for consistency and so any questions/challenges can be resolved collectively. If the team have their own teams, the commitment and sharing discussion happens again to further share downward. This practice ensures timeliness, consistency, and realtime interactions.rL1
