Clarity is very important. It's also a key in pivoting in general, which is the leader orchestrating many changes, many shifts by many people over time. And so with clarity, what I found was that we take time to get clear. And if we're not taking time to get clear, we need to get clear in order to be clear. And then there are many stumbling blocks in our being clear. When I say are, I'm talking about a leader, whomever is needing to communicate with others, to gain commitment, to hopefully inspire them. First is you need to get clear for you. And if you are not inspired, you cannot inspire others. So if you have thought of something that you need someone else to do and you're not putting yourself at part of it and you're not feeling inspired, I can guarantee that it is not going to land. And so first you need to get clear for you.
