Clarity and accountability are key to healthy relationships and effective workplaces. This can look like prioritizing long-term benefits by facing conflicts rather than avoiding them, working with and through difficult emotions with clarity, care, and connection, understanding the stories we live by and evaluating whether they're serving us, or learning to listen and lead in ways that align with our mission and values.

In this episode Marc Lesser, Author of Finding Clarity: How Compassionate Accountability Builds Vibrant Relationships, Thriving Workplaces, and Meaningful Lives, works from the premise that problems are inevitable and that the success of an enterprise or relationship relies on how they are resolved. This applies to any joint effort — in a workplace, a family, a civic organization, a community, a country, or the world. Tune in to hear more about using compassionate accountability and get a practical and trainable way to clarify and achieve shared visions of success.
