Why Do Great Leaders Still Feel Lost? And What to Do When You’re Stuck in the Fog

 

On this episode of the MPWR Podcast, host Eric Pfeiffer dives into one of the most overlooked but transformative leadership tools: personal clarity.

You can have the team, the talent, and the strategy but if you’re unclear on who you are, where you’re going, and why it matters, everything starts to shake. Your confidence, communication, and connection all depend on your internal alignment.

 

“Leadership clarity isn’t just about what you’re trying to accomplish—it’s about who you are, where you’re going, and why it matters.”

“When a leader lacks clarity, everyone feels it—even when no one says it.”

“You can’t lead with conviction if you’re uncertain about your own compass.”

This episode goes beyond theory, it re-introduces a powerful spiritual and leadership framework: The Kairos Circle.

 

🌀 What is the Kairos Circle?

The Kairos Circle comes from Greek terms for time: Chronos (chronological time) and Kairos (divinely appointed time). The circle represents a leadership process that helps you pause, reflect, and respond during key moments of insight or disruption.

The cycle walks you through:

• Observe what’s happening

• Reflect on what it means

• Discuss with wise counsel

• Plan your next step

• Account to someone

• Act with intention

It’s not just a framework, it’s a life rhythm that brings awareness, accountability, and transformation.

 

Why Clarity Matters (with Data)

Studies show that clarity isn't a “nice-to-have”—it’s a performance multiplier:

• Employees with role clarity are 53% more efficient and 27% more effective, leading to a 25% performance increase overall (Effectory).

• Teams with clarity from their leaders show higher engagement, resilience, and trust—especially in moments of change (HubSpot Careers Blog).

 

 In This Episode:

• The difference between doing leadership and being a clear leader

• How internal fog shows up in team performance

• Why the Kairos Circle can recalibrate your leadership in real time

• Practical ways to lead with clarity, conviction, and consistency
