How can I improve clarity in my team communication?
Asked by Matt S.
OptiModel's answer
Start by practicing the "three C's": Concise, Clear, Consistent. Instead of sending long, complex messages, break information into short, actionable points. For example, if you're assigning a task, say: "Please submit the draft by Friday, using the new template. I'll review on Monday." That's far better than "Can you handle this sometime this week?" Clarity avoids misunderstandings, saves time, and reduces rework. Consistency is equally important—if you regularly summarize next steps at the end of meetings, your team always knows what to expect.
