Needless to say...

The manager speaks…

Let me begin by saying (1) that there may be a problem. That said(2), I feel sure it can be solved. Needless to say(3), there are sacrifices(4), we must all pitch in to overcome the issue, think outside the box on it, and run it up the flagpole to achieve a paradigm shift, so at the end of the day, we will all come out of it better people and ready to go forward(5).

Voice-over

Suggested rewrite:
We need to make cuts in spending (what). A meeting tomorrow for everyone (who), 8 am sharp, (when), in the multipurpose room (where), to figure out a way how to pay this year’s tax (why).

1. A declaration doesn’t need an introduction. Declare it.
2. Giving reassurance is not necessary before a solution.
3. If it is needless to say, it is needless to say.
4. A warning followed by an exhortation is better replaced by details of the plan.
5. Summarizing the "who," "when" and "where" is more effective than stringing transitions together.
