Please leave the unnecessary snarkiness for other forums. I could have said "The most leveraged way to operate as a technology executive" but that's rather wordy. More than happy to engage with any substantive critiques you have with my point of view. It's what has worked for me, and it's based on my own experience.

My comment is both a substantive critique of how you communicate and a commentary on executive communication.

Once you strip out the pedantic remark, you haven't actually said anything. I think your actual silence speaks volumes and makes my point for me.

If you think that’s how leaders of companies should talk and that people who criticize you for talking like that should be written off as pedants then good luck to you.
