## Resource

Hey Leader, have you ever sat through a meeting and wondered if someone is ever going to land the plane? One topic. Twelve detours. Twenty minutes later and everyone is still trying to figure out what they're actually being asked to do. In Episode 136 of The Leadership Sandbox , Tammy tackles a communication habit that quietly steals time, drains energy, and creates frustration inside teams: overexplaining. In this episode you'll discover: • Why some people feel compelled to tell the whole story • How to respectfully interrupt lengthy conversations • The exact phrase Tammy uses to ask people to "bottom line it" • How to coach leaders who unintentionally overwhelm teams with details • Why fewer words often create more influence Most people who overtalk aren't trying to dominate the room. They simply don't feel heard. The challenge for leaders is learning how to honor the person while redirecting the conversation toward clarity, expectations, and action. Because teams don't need more talking. They need clearer requests. So, Leader, bottom-line it and watch the productivity soar.
