If this doesn’t hurt your head, it should.
We’ve overcomplicated business and if you have not set yourself in the direction to simplify everything in your business, you are setting yourself up for headaches when it comes to communication and a very long and frustrating game of telephone throughout your organization.
When your leadership team is not crystal clear on where they are going and how they will get there, there becomes too many confusing communication channels causing frustration.
