Clarity and Flexibility

As a maker, I can be led, but not managed.

When I consider the characteristics of a leader I would follow, the yin and yang of clarity and flexibility rings true.

“Leaders are — and must continue to be — a source of clarity. Clarity is the ability to be very explicit about where you are going, but very flexible about how you will get there.” ―Bob Johansen, The New Leadership Literacies
