Clarity Is An Act Of Care
/“Clear is kind. Unclear is unkind.” (Brené Brown)
Lack of clarity can be caused by understandable reasons:
Wanting to be nice
Wanting to stay collaborative and flexible
Still figuring things out oneself
When leaders face these situations, they might stay vague.
They hope that clarifications will naturally come later.
But what often emerges instead is confusion, frustration and wasted time.
Clarity doesn’t have to be blunt or pushy.
And it’s not about having all the answers yet.
Clarity is responsibility and care, taking the time to think it through and say what you mean with precision.
That’s kind - and effective - leadership.
