A DIAGNOSTIC FROM THE SIGNAL GAP
You're not being misunderstood.
You're being multiplied wrong.
This is a guided Echo Map for senior leaders. You'll pick one real, high-stakes message you sent, then trace it hop-by-hop through both the cascade you planned and the cascade that actually decided whether people believed you.
The formal cascade
Deck → all-hands → manager talking points → team meetings. The one you planned.
The shadow cascade
Slack side-thread → group text → "what she really meant was…" → quiet non-followership. The one that actually decides believability.
