No one has ever left a meeting with me wondering what I meant. When I say something it is clear, candid, and often blunt. “Am I being too subtle?” is my punch line when I deliver a message I consider obvious. I’ll occasionally add, “I can speak slower if you want,” to ensure my point is received. I can seem gruff. I know that. And I can be impatient. I have an embedded sense of urgency. What I can’t figure out is why so many other people don’t have it.
