Hi there,
The annual U.S. business loss due to ineffective communication.
Are you one of the 3 in 4 leaders whose teams struggle with communicating effectively?
This supercharge is for you.
⚡ Supercharge of the Week
Most of us think we’re being clear with our language when collaborating. We know what we mean so everyone else must too, right?
And yet, we all have examples of how miscommunication led to a missed deadline. Or lack of alignment on priorities. Or a misunderstanding of what we’re actually supposed to deliver for another team.

When we miscommunicate, we need to spend unexpected company time to resolve the misunderstanding and often additional staff time to redo parts of the deliverable. Leaders estimate that almost a full workday a week – about 8 hours! – is lost due to these misunderstandings.
To figure out how to resolve this $1.2 trillion problem, first we have to take a look at miscommunication in action.
