2. Create Clarity
Healthy organizations minimize the potential for confusion by clarifying the following questions:
Why do we exist?
How do we behave?
What do we do?
How will we succeed?
What is most important, right now?
Who must do what?
It is critical that members of your leadership team are intellectually aligned around these six questions, which shape your organization’s mission and what is of the utmost priority for the next few months. Be specifying goals and an operational focus within the leadership team, people who are one, two or three levels below them should also be able to have complete clarity about what they need to do to make the organization successful.
