In an increasingly complex world, razor-sharp communication prevents losing people's attention and enables better collaboration

Eben explains the urgency: 'the world is becoming more complex all the time. Okay? It's increasing very rapidly. There's too much going on, and most people take too long to get to the point or to communicate what they're trying to communicate. And when you take too long to communicate or you're not razor sharp and you're not specific and you're not clear and you don't have a toolbox full of communication skills, you lose people. Even if you understand the topic, even if you get what to do, other people won't be able to work well with you.'
