My guest today is author, speaker, and podcaster Casey Watts. Casey’s book is The Craft of Clarity: Six Steps to Bridge Gaps, Foster Commitment, and Create Sustainable Alignment.

We talk about:

“Not Another Unrealistic Book of Complicated Ideas”
Misaligned perspectives between teachers and leaders - living in different worlds
“Clarity precedes capacity.” What does that mean for leaders?
Strategy is simple. Clarity is complex.
Many teams think they’re collaborating, but really they’re just coordinating. What’s the difference, and how can leaders move their people from faux collaboration to true collaboration?
When a team is stuck in silos or cycles of dysfunction, what’s one practical move a leader can make right now to start turning things around?
