Clarity comes from active caring while lack of clarity comes from lack of external focus.

Clear is kind, unclear is unkind.

—Brené Brown

Failure to share expectations or feedback enable poor outcomes, often stemming from lack of focus, or more often fear and ego getting in the way. Clear expectations, on the other hand, enable action and accountability. May lead to conflict, but this enables solutions rather than festering. Collaboration can lead to lost clarity if not approached intentionally.rB1
