POWC # 715 - Communication Mistakes

Effective communication is the key to successful and long-term business growth. It’s something that Dex struggled with for over a decade and still struggles with to this day. It’s easy to assume people have the information they need, but if you’re not clear, consistent, and concise, you’re only going to disappoint. Communication is telling or writing information clearly, asking good and detailed questions, and lastly listening - just shutting up and actively listening.
