the state of how we communicate
applying communication practices to other tools Now that we’ve established the importance of clear communication, we can extend these principles to interacting with Large Language Models [LLMs]. AI tools are powerful, but they rely entirely on how well we articulate our thoughts. If human-to-human communication requires clarity, structure, and intent, then effective human-to-AI communication demands even greater precision to ensure accurate outputs. LLMs are pattern-based systems that generate responses based on input structure, context, and clarity. Vague emails create back-and-forth confusion, while poorly framed prompts lead to inaccurate, generic, or incomplete AI-generated outputs. Instead of expecting AI to figure it out, we must apply the same disciplined communication approach used in business to shape more effective interactions with digital tools. think before typing or writing To get valuable outputs from our communication methods, we must reframe our approach, starting with clear and structured thinking.
Assessing context and key details : What essential information should be included to guide the output toward a relevant response? Breaking down complexity: In everyday interactions, executives must structure their instructions clearly for their executive assistants and teams. All of their collaboration, regardless of medium, should be refined into digestible components when action or execution on bodies of work is being given.
Identifying the end goal: What outcome do you need from the tool? Are you looking for insights, con t ent generation, or structured recommendations? Iterating for precision: The first output isn’t always the best. As human communication improves through feedback, all of our interactions require refinement and iteration for better results.
The ability to communicate effectively is no longer about speaking well—it’s about thinking well, organizing ideas, and expressing them in a way that gets the right outcome. Mastering these foundational principles will ensure that we interact with all mediums, shaping it into a valuable method for decision-making, strategy, and efficiency. Before defining the structure for communicating, this shift in mindset must come first. What happens when thoughts aren’t articulated clearly regardless of the medium we use? Misalignment: Humans and digital tools misinterpret the request and produces incorrect or generic outputs. Wasted time: The user spends more time refining and fixing outputs than actually benefiting from technology. Missed opportunities: Digital tools can enhance creativity, decision-making, and workflow automation, but only when given precise input.
