In this episode of Executiveland, Elizabeth Freedman returns with a new chapter of the unwritten C-suite playbook: “Do I Really Have to Spell It Out?” Drawing from years of coaching senior leaders, she unpacks why clarity in communication is one of the most overlooked drivers of performance, and why even seasoned executives fall into common traps.

Elizabeth explores how decoding, vague messaging, and a lack of ownership can derail strategy and credibility. Through practical examples, she shows how to shift from hinting to directness, and how clear, confident communication can accelerate results, build trust, and amplify a leader’s impact.

You’ll explore:
• Why leaders often assume their message is clearer than it is
• The hidden impact of vague feedback and indirect messaging
• How confidence shapes clarity in high-stakes conversations
• Practical tools to sharpen communication and ensure understanding
