Want to know if you’re a quality leader (in a family, church, association or business)? Then ask your audience/followers whether you are clear. Is your message full of clarity or fog? So many problems that plague organizations would be mitigated if the leaders would be clear.
Mark it, clarity requires confidence, boldness and courage. Is it risky? Absolutely! Fear rules hear and we’d better overcome it. The Marines have a slogan around leadership that makes a lot of sense. The words of that slogan basically say; ‘lead, follow or get out of the way.’
There are employees and volunteers who are dedicating significant hours to the "cause." Most of these folks want to do a good job, and they want to be a part of something special. The venture should live up to our highest aim.
Gifted individuals shouldn’t have to guess "what’s the plan." As leaders, we owe them clarity.
