What common mistakes do PMs make in communication?

Common communication mistakes among PMs include:

• Lack of clarity and specificity — messages are too general, leading to misunderstandings.
• Absence of regular feedback — the team does not receive timely information about progress or changes.
• Ignoring listeners — the knowledge level and interests of the audience are not considered.
• Information overload — too many details distract from the main point.
• Inability to listen and consider the team's opinion — communication becomes one-sided.
• Lack of transparency — hiding problems or risks, which reduces trust.
• Poor expectation management — promises that are difficult to fulfill.

Avoiding these mistakes is helped by structured communication, active listening, regular meetings, and using appropriate communication channels.
