Episode notes

▶︎ #131 | How Much Does Poor Communication Cost You (Calculator Included!) Poor communication isn't a soft-skills problem - it's a line-item budget disaster. It costs an average of 7.47 hours of lost productivity per employee per week, which for a 50-person team adds up to nearly $900K a year, before you even factor in turnover. The math gets brutal when you stack the three cost categories together - lost productivity, employee replacement (50 - 200% of annual salary per person), and disengagement - and most Tech Leaders have never actually run these numbers for their own team. Unawareness and a lack of data are two of the worst things for them to have. This episode gives you the exact calculator template to plug in your own team size and salaries and see your "Communication Tax" in under 10 minutes - because you can't fix what you haven't measured. Use another company’s example, so you don’t pay the price yourself.
