In my experience, lack of clarity is caused by the executive team not making their true goals known to the whole company. A classic example is prioritizing seemingly arbitrary products/features in hope of pleasing a future partner or acquirer - employees won't automatically know why these obscure projects suddenly became important.
- samstave 13y agoIf the startup needs clarity to survive, then the exec level must have transparency to reach clarity. If you do not have transparency; then clarity (about your true goals) is impossible, because execs with lack-of-transparency typically have other (more selfish/shady) goals that they are really requiring people to support through their work. Typically, their (the execs) actual greed. I have oft stated in the past that another positive outcome from transparency is also accountability.
