Clarity is Kindness. Ambiguity is an Energy Drain

Too often, we confuse “vague” with “nice.” Leaders hold back from being clear—thinking they’re being flexible or kind.

But the truth? Vague feedback and fuzzy goals aren’t kindness - they’re confusion.

The Real Issue

Without clarity, your team spins.

Meetings get murky. Priorities shift.

People disengage—not because they don’t care, but because they don’t know what’s expected.

According to Gallup, only 47% of employees strongly agree they know what’s expected of them at work.

That means over half are unclear.

Uncertainty isn’t just a morale issue—it’s a performance killer.

Clear is kind. Vague is a time waster.

Clarity doesn’t mean rigidity.

It means intention.

It means making sure your team knows what matters, why it matters, and how their work contributes.

Where are you avoiding clarity in the name of being “nice”?
