Talent Development Leader's style is journalistic rather than academic. It is a professional business publication, not a scholarly journal. That means authors should favor the active voice over passive voice. Avoid jargon and technical terms; if you must use them, define them. Spell out abbreviations on the first use. Writing should be crisp, clear, and plain-speaking.
