When leadership teams dilute their own message through individual interpretation

Our leadership team makes decisions in executive meetings and then each of us goes back to our departments and explains them differently based on what we think our people can handle and none of us admits we're doing this. The result is that different parts of the company think we're heading in different directions and when people compare notes we all look like we're either lying or incompetent.
