Clarity trumps charisma in effective leadership, as unclear leadership creates hesitation and stalls momentum within teams. When leaders communicate clearly, teams move with confidence and purpose rather than second-guessing decisions or remaining inactive.

• Teams don't follow charisma long-term – they follow clarity
• If you're not being clear, you're accidentally being confusing
• Your team can't read your mind – explicit communication is essential
• Say the same thing more than once – clarity is achieved when your team repeats it back
• Define what "done" looks like by describing successful outcomes
• Don't just give answers, give direction – create pathways for success
• Ask yourself where you're assuming clarity but haven't actually checked for it
