Clarity and Leadership

Clarity is the single greatest value-add a leader can bring to their organization. Clarity serves as the lightening rod for aligned action, catalyzing the latent potential of individuals and teams throughout the organization and inspiring the trust and confidence of external stakeholders. Coupled with the ability to translate clarity into simple, straightforward, innate strategies and solutions, clarity produces a leadership style that allows individuals to do what comes naturally for humans – to truly be led toward a future they understand and believe in.

As a leader, your clarity (or lack of it) is visible in the way you perceive, think and act. When you’re clear, you know what to look for - and what to watch out for. You have a reference point around which to organize your thinking - to both spark and to manage your creativity. And you know precisely where, when, and how to act – congruently and confidently.

Perception

A necessary precondition to clarity - and the powerful thinking it enables - is the ability to perceive - clearly and fully. Similarly, the quality of one’s actions is a function of clarity - that combination of perception and thought. The innate ability to continually expand the scope and deepen the level of perception is the hallmark of a great leader. In our increasingly interconnected, global environment, such skills are becoming a basic requirement.

Thought

Our thinking, as well, must rise to match this increased level of perception and the clarity it affords. It, too, must be able to handle the increased scope and depth required to set strategic direction and make strategic decisions in this increasingly complex environment. Most of all, in order to enable communication and action, it must be simple - a simplicity that can only be achieved via clarity.

Action

Finally, our actions, as the evidence of our clarity, must extend naturally from our understanding. When a leader is both clear and congruent, an organization trusts in their judgment, in their capacity as a leader, in the course they’ve set and the decisions they’ve taken and this trust permeates each individual’s feelings, thoughts, and actions.

Increasing our awareness, manipulating and enhancing that awareness via thought, and acting in congruence with our resultant clarity - all of these are innate human capacities - capacities we’ve simply been taught to ignore. It’s time, now, to remember them. We’ve developed tools and techniques to enable you to consistently do that.
