As you’re leading for transformational growth, here’s a question: What do you really want? A hidden challenge for even the most seasoned leaders is gaining clarity around their vision. Maybe you’ve faced this issue too. For instance, you might be considering transforming your company by moving into an emerging market. It seems right to do, but you’re concerned about the risk of eroding your current market. And this ambivalence is holding you back from fully funding the strategy. Gaining clarity about the source of this ambivalence hinges upon asking what you really want, with both your head and your heart.

In this episode, we discuss why this head-heart conflict is a natural part of bold leadership in today’s complex environment. Scott and I talk about why accepting the dissonance between the strategic intention in your head and the emotional reaction in your heart is critical to building commitment. We dig deeper into recognizing the signs of this ambivalence.  Reframing the question of “What do I really want?” can often be the key to reconciling this ambivalence.  We also discuss three immediately useful ways to build clarity that aligns vision, emotion, and action. This will help you lead yourself and your company into a more powerful future.
