Are you unintentionally moving the goalposts on your team?
Many leaders are visionary — full of ideas, strategy, and momentum. But without clear communication, even the strongest vision can create confusion, disengagement, and burnout.

In this episode of Get Jasched, Jess Jasch explores one of the most overlooked leadership skills: clearly communicating what you need so your team can actually support you.

You’ll learn:

  • Why constantly shifting expectations erodes trust and motivation
  • How to guide your team without micromanaging
  • The leadership balance between direction and autonomy
  • How clarity reduces workplace stress and increases performance
  • Why business is more personal than we’ve been taught — and why that matters

Jess also connects leadership communication to our personal lives, reminding us that support only becomes possible when we’re willing to express what we need.
Because whether you're leading a company, a team, or simply your own life — clarity is what turns vision into reality.

🎧 Tune in to learn how stronger communication creates stronger ecosystems of support.
