> Imprecise asks from managers and leaders cause a disproportionate amount of turmoil and wheel-spinning. True. But the scope is far too limited. When you listen *very* carefully to comms you quickly realize how much fill-in-the-blanks and vagueness (is back filled with assumption) is typically involved. This happen with leaders, managers, colleagues, family, friends, etc. "It's not what you say, it's what they hear." Sure, off the clock it doesn't always lead to turmoil and wheel-spinning, but it can. Regardless, those habits get brought into the office. All that said, leaders and managers of a culture where asking questions (for clarity) is discouraged need to rethink their culture, as well as the quality of their comms.
