In fact, when you share the what without sharing the why:
- There will be unnecessary resistance
- People have separate agendas
- Misunderstandings become common
- The vision is clouded
- Motivation is absent
- The leader stands alone
- Progress stalls
Paint the why as you share the what.
It makes all the difference.
