How to Create Clarity Without Micro-Managing or Going Full Dictator
In this episode of the Culture Focused Practice podcast, I dig into the sneaky little thing I call the clarity gap—aka the space between what you think you’re saying and what your team is actually hearing. It’s a doozy, and it trips up even the best leaders.
We’re talking about how to create clarity without turning into a micromanaging dictator (because ew), how to set up structures that actually help people do their jobs, and how to build systems that make clarity the norm. Plus, we’ll get into why your team needs to be trained to own clarity themselves—so they’re not side-eyeing you in silence while secretly confused.
This episode is part two of our clarity gap mini-series, and it’s loaded with practical stuff you can implement today.
