Share your intent and your vision with your people. - Masterminds

That is exactly what you should do if you want to build an exciting business or process that has high engagement up and down the company. That is exactly what you should do if you want to change the world with a group of people. That is exactly what you should do if you want to like coming to your office each day. Otherwise you will be a solopreneuer, or a lonely CEO, or shouldering most of the work load and all the emotional load. Otherwise you will be the gas and the engine that keeps things working and humming along. Otherwise no one knows what the fat you are about and where you want to go and they will invariably and unknowingly pull in the wrong directions. And I know you find this unthinkable, but you are going to be very frustrated and unhappy and unsuccessful because your people don’t know where you are going nor why you are going there. So be open and transparent and communicate constantly.

The most surprising benefit will the clarity that this forces upon you. As you share your intent and your vision, your people will ask questions and push back and this is best thing that could ever happen to your intent and vision. You can use these questions and pushes as fodder and fuel to make your intent and vision stronger and better and even bigger if that is what you want. Yes yes you have opened yourself up to criticism by doing this, but trust me, they were criticizing you ferociously before when they were in the dark about where you were going.
