Driver Side, Not Left
Why precise language matters more than you think.
Clear communication can be the difference between success and confusion — whether you're navigating a rocky trail or leading a team.
Over the weekend, I took my Jeep Wrangler off-roading for the first time at a “Jeep Adventure Academy,” and the guides’ communication stood out.
Here are three strategies they modeled that translate perfectly to leadership and teamwork:
✅️ Use unambiguous language — “driver side” is clearer than “left”
✅️ Confirm alignment before moving forward — check assumptions early
✅️ Encourage with clarity — small affirmations build confidence
What’s one small shift you could make this week to communicate with more clarity and purpose?
