Performance Shift Leadership Tip   

"Pass me the watchamacallit, willya?"
"What d' ya mean?"
"You know what I mean - that flat thing over there!"
"Oh! You mean the red thingamajig?""
"Yeah, that's it. Can you pass it over?"
"Sure."

That's how my 11 year old speaks sometimes.   When I ask him what he means, he often says, "Ahh- fahget about it."  He can't be bothered making the effort to explain what he means.  If I don't persist, the conversation ends and we end up not being on the same page.

Does this happen in your workplace?  I bet it does.   One of the most fundamental areas that I find this occurs is in terms of what people are expected to produce.
