"When execution slows down, leaders tend to believe the organization needs better communication - but the real issue is unclear decision ownership and broken handoffs between teams."
"More communication can actually make things worse. Repetition can't fix structural ambiguity - it just adds noise."
"People need to be able to clearly answer what was decided, who owns moving it forward, what happens next and what 'done' looks like."
Execution slowdowns in organizations often lead leaders to believe better communication is needed. However, the real issues are unclear decision ownership and broken handoffs between teams. Increased communication can exacerbate structural ambiguity rather than resolve it. Teams may struggle with questions about decisions, ownership, and next steps. Execution typically fails after meetings when ownership is unclear, leading to confusion among teams about who is responsible for moving initiatives forward.
