The Root of Miscommunication

Miscommunication Isn’t a People Problem. It’s a Process Problem.

If your team keeps “misunderstanding” expectations, it’s time to zoom out.
Most communication issues aren’t about tone or intention.

They’re about a lack of core process.

Ask yourself:
• Is there a clear place to find information?
• Do you have a shared definition of “done”?
• When a handoff happens, is the next person set up for success?

If not, the chaos isn’t personal. It’s structural.

When communication breaks down consistently, stop repeating yourself and start fixing the process that’s failing your team.

Begin by documenting the conversations you repeat most often.

They need to be available for everyone to access and understand them, without relying on interpretation.
