Brady employs a personal and professional communication framework called 'CCC' (Clear, Current, Communication) to ensure clarity and address issues in real-time.
He posits that accountability is impossible without first clearly and explicitly communicating expectations, viewing the failure to do so as a major leadership flaw.
