SLANT LEADERSHIP GROUP
ELIMINATE COMMUNICATION FRICTION. ACCELERATE EXECUTION.
Slant Leadership Group helps leadership teams in growing organizations move faster, make better decisions, and lead with clarity without the friction that kills momentum.
THE COSTLY REALITY MOST LEADERS IGNORE
Your team is talented. Your strategy is sound. So why does progress feel harder than it should?
The hidden culprit: Communication Friction.
Teams lose 7+ hours per week and over $12,000 per employee annually due to unclear communication (Grammarly, 2024).
That’s not just lost productivity because it’s wasted energy, frustrated people, and stalled growth. But communication friction isn’t a people problem.
It’s a system problem.
And systems can be fixed.
THE REAL COST OF COMMUNICATION CHAOS
WHAT UNCLEAR COMMUNICATION IS ACTUALLY STEALING FROM YOUR ORGANIZATION
Right now, while you're reading this, your communication friction is costing you money.
Your VP of Sales just spent 20 minutes re-explaining a strategy that should have been clear the first time. Your operations manager is in another "alignment meeting" trying to figure out what marketing actually needs. Your best project manager is updating the same stakeholders for the third time this week because nobody knows who needs to know what. And your competitors? They're moving faster.
THE HIDDEN HEMORRHAGING
Your Leadership Team:
Spending 40% of meeting time clarifying what was "decided" last week
Making the same decisions multiple times because execution keeps breaking down Watching initiatives die in the handoff between departments
Your Top Performers:
Frustrated by having to repeat themselves constantly
Wasting mental energy navigating personality conflicts instead of solving problems Quietly updating their LinkedIn profiles because "this place is disorganized"
Your Bottom Line:
Projects taking 30% longer due to miscommunication and rework
Client deliverables delayed because internal teams can't align
Revenue opportunities missed while you're stuck in "clarification mode"
THE BRUTAL MATH
A 100-person organization loses $1.25 million annually to communication friction. That's not an estimate. That's $12,506 per employee in documented waste (Grammarly, 2024).
But the real cost is money and momentum.
While you're having the same conversation for the fourth time, your competition is executing. While your team is confused about priorities, they're capturing market share. While your best people are considering other options, they're building the culture you wish you had.
THE QUESTION THAT KEEPS LEADERS UP AT NIGHT
"How much growth are we leaving on the table because we can't communicate clearly?" You know the answer. And you know it's getting worse, not better.
The good news? Communication friction isn't permanent. It's fixable. The bad news? Every day you wait, it's costing you more.
A PROVEN APPROACH TO CLEAR, FAST COMMUNICATION
At Slant Leadership Group, we don’t teach soft skills.
