Last week, we talked about high performance habits, and a clear communication is a key for this — but small mistakes can lead to big delays. Here are 3 common internal communication errors that can harm productivity and project delivery:
1. Lack of clarity in messages
When instructions are vague, teams waste time trying to interpret them or executing them incorrectly.
✔️ Be specific. Use clear, direct language and confirm understanding when needed.
2. Assuming alignment without confirmation
Just because something was said doesn’t mean it was understood or agreed upon.
✔️ Always check for alignment — especially after meetings or important updates.
3. Overusing written messages for complex topics
Long emails or chats can lead to misunderstandings when the subject is complex or sensitive.
✔️ When in doubt, pick up the phone or schedule a quick call.
Good communication is not just about speaking — it’s about making sure the message lands as intended. Share this content with your colleagues!
