Happy Monday.
 
A challenging element for many leaders is clarity in their communication.  Directives are misunderstood.  People are not on the same page.  Vision and mission are confused.  All of these are symptoms of a leader that does not clearly communicate.
 
The refresher this week will focus on how to improve clarity and discuss the premium on direct communication in leadership. 
 
I hope you all have a great week.
 
Tim Schneider
Thought for the Week:
 
The most valuable of all talents is that of never using two words when one will do. 
Thomas Jefferson
 
Week 17 Refresher-
Communication Clarity
 
1.  Do you ever over-explain a situation and in doing so, convolute the information you are trying to provide?
 
2.  How can using a long story harm the communication of a simple issue?
 
3.  Can more words hurt or help in difficult situations with team members?
 
4.  Have you ever had a team member not understand something after a lengthy explanation?
