Last year, I filmed in Santa Barbara with painfully red, swollen eyes.

Last year, I filmed in Santa Barbara with painfully red, swollen eyes.

Everything was foggy. I worked twice as hard just to see clearly.

It reminded me of what I’ve been noticing in leadership teams lately:

They’re pushing harder than necessary, not because the work is hard, but because the vision is blurry.

And most of the time?

It’s not a strategy issue. It’s a candor issue.

When people can’t speak up, the problems stay hidden.

And what should be obvious becomes painfully unclear.

If you want clarity, start here:

At the end of your next meeting, ask:

“What’s one thing you don’t want to tell me right now?”

If you get silence, that’s your answer.

The most dangerous problems are the ones no one feels safe enough to say out loud.

➡️ Leading a team? Try this question. Then come back and tell me what happened.
