In this episode we chat about the crucial role of clarity in bulding an innovative culture. We discuss multiple levels of clarity, from understanding individual roles and responsibilities to understanding the overarching purpose within an organization. The conversation highlights the challenges of achieving clarity in today's evolving work environments, including hybrid work models and the VUCA environment. Joe and Kathy emphasize the need for intentional communication, frequent feedback, adaptable processes, and rethinking outdated practices like annual performance reviews. We also explore the complexities of clarity within ad hoc teams and offer practical best practices for improving clarity in dynamic environments and connecting clarity to psychological safety for effective innovation.
