This course explores the power of having credibility and a laser focus as a leader. By holding firm on your chosen path, making sound decisions that support your strategy, and communicating in a clear, concise way, you can command clarity. Not only will you gain the respect of those around you, you’ll be more likely to achieve your goals and objectives when you remain authentic and transparent and infuse joy into everything you do. Your team needs to see and know you are a credible leader who keeps distractions at arm’s length and maintains a laser focus. You stay the course, steering the ship forward through choppy waters, ignoring those who encourage you to sail abroad. You command clarity. But don’t forget joy. Indeed, there’s the need for a little cheerfulness, too.
