Are you creating the 'raindrop effect' on your people? This is when your employees get requests from many different groups and they don't know what should be prioritized. You need to have the Coordinate Your Asks Conversation to identify activities and requests from across your organization and prioritize what you will ask of your people - before you send out all the asks. 

This is a must-have conversation during any major change, so as not to overwhelm people with too many to dos, but it's also just good day-to-day business practice. 

You can use the Month in a Box template (download it here) to prepare for this conversation, but the key is to actually have the conversation and realize how many different things people are being asked to do, then to actually coordinate the timing of your asks 'from head office' so that all your employees don't have to try to figure out what is top priority - you've done it for them. 

Enjoy your conversation!
