Yeah. Corporate jargon is everywhere. And while some of it can help teams move faster, too often it just muddies the waters and slows everyone down.We’re breaking down the real impact of workplace jargon, when it helps, when it hurts, and how it might be damaging your leadership credibility more than you think. Clarity isn’t just a communication tactic. It’s a leadership strategy. It builds trust. And trust fuels performance. When people understand each other clearly, they move faster, work smarter, and build something meaningful together.Chapters:00:00 Jargon...you know it when you hear it.00:32 Meet Dr. David Burkus00:55 “Let’s Holistically Evaluate the Pain Points Driving Our Misalignment”03:10 Know Your Audience04:53 Default to Clarity06:18 Challenge Fake Complexity//ABOUT DAVIDOne of the world’s leading business thinkers, David Burkus’ forward-thinking ideas and bestselling books are helping leaders and teams do their best work ever.He is the best-selling author of four books about business and leadership.
