Creating clarity is like turning on a flashlight in a dark room - it illuminates what’s in front of you.

Desiring certainty is like wanting to walk blindfolded in a kid’s toy room and not trip over anything.

Certainty is a fallacy - it’s a fallacy that doesn’t help you solve problems - blind hope.

Clarity creates the space to solve problems, make decisions, and act. It’s that hopeful feeling you get in your gut when you say, “maybe this might work.”

Effective leaders create and seek clarity and downplay the need for certainty.
