As we all strive to become better communicators, we must be clear and concise. I recently had a discussion with a gentleman where I was vague on my stance about an important matter, and I left him with more questions than answers. My words left him with the need to read between the lines so that he could try to understand what I was saying, which is never a good thing. He could have taken my half answers and twisted them to say whatever he wanted to hear that day (I’m glad he didn’t), but it still meant that I needed to articulate my stance in a better way.
