There’s a sign on a road near my house that says “BUMPS.” Five feet away from it is a road marking that says “HUMP.” Same Department of Transportation. Two different words. Zero alignment.

That’s not just a road problem. That’s your leadership problem in miniature.

In this episode, I unpack the 3 forms of poor communication that wreck most companies, the 3 rules of effective communication every leader needs, and why “I told them” is almost never the same as “they understood.”

🎧 Press play. Watch out for falling rocks.

In this episode:

▶ The bumps vs humps story and what it reveals about your company
▶ Why “FALLING ROCKS” is the world’s most useless sign (and how you do the same thing)
▶ The 3 forms of poor communication: saying too much, saying too little, saying the wrong things
▶ The leader who berates his team and calls it “high standards”
▶ The 3 rules of effective communication every leader needs
▶ The 3 questions to ask yourself the next time you brief your team

If your team keeps asking the same questions you swear you’ve already answered, this one’s for you.
