Comment on Davina Jones's post:
Really good point. The goal itself often dictates the best modality — deep conversation builds understanding in ways that a chart simply cannot, no matter how visual someone considers themselves. I think the real sweet spot is when leaders hold both in tension: know the learner's preferences AND know what the task actually requires. Defaulting to preference alone can actually limit growth, while ignoring preference can create unnecessary friction. Thanks for the thoughtful push back — this is the kind of nuance that makes leadership conversations better.
