Teams with clarity
...know exactly what they’re doing, why they’re doing it, and who’s responsible.
Mostly, teams get clarity from leaders who are habitual about creating it.
And that takes commitment to three things: Clarity of purpose, clarity of plan, and clarity of responsibility.

Clarity of Purpose
If you have clarity of purpose, everyone is on the same page when asked, “If we’re wildly successful, how will the world be different?”
Some of the best teams in the business today are those driven by a purpose connected to a vision for a more helpful, innovative, or thriving world.

Clarity of plan
It provides the “how”:
- Spend a few days in focused planning with your team.
- Lay out the pillars that you believe will lead to success in your mission–your “master strategy.”
- Establish a set of measurable key results that you aim to achieve by specific dates, to support these pillars.
- Map out the big projects that your team will take on to achieve those key results, and then the specific tasks to achieve them.

Treat Everyone with Respect
When you're building a team or company, you simply can't afford to lose great people. Treat them with respect and you're one step closer to keeping them on your team long-term.
Encourage Dissent
To do great things, you and your people need to consistently think outside the box. You need people who feel very comfortable disagreeing with you, trying new things, tossing out new ideas, and being okay with the fact that several of their ideas may turn out to be outright awful.
Make the Final Decision and Move On
If you are the manager, make final decisions. And to do so decisively: evaluate all the options in front of you, hear and absorb everyone's arguments, and ultimately make the final call, with arguments.
Even if you've expressed dissent as an employee, it'll benefit you to let your manager make their call and then focus on what's next, rather than staying preoccupied with past decisions.
