Smart Brevity:
The Power of Saying More with Less

Jim VandeHei, Mike Allen, and Roy Schwartz

Speed breaks without clarity. In fast-growing orgs, where change is constant and answers are evolving, how you communicate is how you lead. Smart Brevity gave me a framework to cut the fluff and drive alignment—even when direction is still forming. It helped me become clearer, sharper, and faster at enabling my team to move through the ambiguity that comes with hypergrowth.

Read Smart Brevity if you’re looking to:

  • Communicate direction and urgency without the fluff

  • Drive alignment through clarity, not over-explaining

  • Keep your team focused and moving—even when the path is still forming
