The Language of Clarity Series

Words We Work By: Building a Common Language for Clarity & Connection 

In this episode of The Agile Couple, Kevin and Leeanne McManus dive into the power of shared language in the workplace — and why it’s the “operating system” for effective collaboration. From acronyms that mean different things in different contexts to the hidden pitfalls of “tribal lore” and ghost conflict, they explore how misaligned vocabulary can lead to rework, frustration, and missed goals. You’ll hear practical tips for creating a living language framework, building trust across teams, and fostering transparency in agile environments. Whether you’re onboarding new hires, leading global teams, or just tired of people talking at each other instead of with each other, this conversation will help you create clarity, connection, and a healthier culture.
