Scarcity of clarity

# Chapter 292

Clarity of vision + certainty of intent. - Masterminds

These two are the eyes and arms of every project ever accomplished. This is the seeing and the actions. Clarity is something I am always preaching to my clients about and searching for myself. A little bit of clarity can carry a person or a project or an event a very long ways down the road. And that is a really good thing because clarity is always in short supply. The scarcity of clarity is the number one leadership problem in the world I often think. How difficult it is, can be easily shown by that timeless question I ask every client and often, “What do you want?” Everyone can tell me what they don’t want, but few can articulate what they want, simply put, because few of us have any clarity. I am not trying to be mean here, just point out the obvious. The vast majority of us are responders, and we are being herded by the shepherds of marketing who captures all of our attention all of the time and very intentionally never allow us a moment of clarity. Heck they never allow a moment for thinking, much less clarity. And clarity usually follows a great deal of thinking. We could go on and on about this subject because there is much to be said and even more to do on the subject of clarity.

Certainty of intent - when you precisely know what you are about and what you are to accomplish. Yes that statement also has “clarity” dripping all over it. Think of it this way, your level of certainty will never be higher than your level of clarity. Time to get thinking . . .
