George Bernard Shaw once famously said, "The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place." Although he died in 1950, Shaw's words live on, especially in the business world. Far too many executives, salespeople, consultants, and even rank-and-file employees suck at communicating. Some think that they're speaking and writing effectively when they drop ostensibly sophisticated terms like paradigm shift, synergy, net-net, form factor, and optics. Others think that they're being clever.

Bosses and employees want the same thing, but they rarely talk about it. This is a problem. Companies hire coaches and consultants to tell them what they already know. They chase strategies and systems.
