How do you improve your communication with your team?

We have every week regular meeting with whole team + main external contractors (major open problems, escalations, business initiatives etc.). 
Once or twice a week we have meetings with part of team (application, infrastructure,
network, security team....) to discuss open topics, problems and new initiatives specialized
on their area of work (technical discussion)
Then we have a lot of short informal meetings/discussions using collaboration tools like MS Teams

Enable a safe environment for the team to share their thoughts/ideas/concerns.   Listen carefully to what your team shares/needs and communicate and assign follow up actions.    Manage and communicate to individuals (and not just the general team) on goals/objectives - this will push understanding and expectations up to the team level.   Be open to feedback and corrective actions that may go against your own personal or past successes because each individual and team are different in each company.

Be clear and specific in what is it that you are asking them. Set clear expectations, follow important meetings/conversations with an email so its clear what was discussed and you have record of it that can reference.

-Regular team meetings with a set agenda 
-1:1 meetings
- email prompt communication ( staying on top of inbox)
- let everyone know the preferred way of communication email/phone call/Teams/Slack- settling on one or two means
- showing the team that I am easily accessible and have open door policy
- team outings 
- randomly using one of the weekly team meetings to listen from team members rather than every time me talking 
- creating opportunities for team members to present, create documentation and provide regular written updates

We have weekly leadership team meetings and I have individual 1:1 meeting with each direct report. We have town halls on a quarterly basis or as needed. We use Teams extensively and have multiple channels to keep conversations going - from a Leadership Team channel, to a managers channel, to an IT Playground.
