Can you draw it? This simple question is one of the most powerful tools to make your communication clearer. Because when you can draw it, it means that you can see it. And when you can see it, it means that it's concrete. What you think can be abstract, but what you see, or even draw, will always be concrete. And that's a huge bonus when you want me to see it, too. Let's say you think: “We're innovative.” This can mean very specific things to you. You know exactly in which way your innovative. But at the same time, it means nothing to me. Or at least something completely different than you think it does. It's a different game when you show or at least tell me what innovative looks like. Then we can look at it together and I can much more easily tell whether I see the same as you do. And whether I like what I see. So, what does it look like when you improve the process? What does it look like when you increase production quality? And what does it look like when we perform better as a team? Can you draw it? Keep lighting the path!
