What is the Leading with Clarity in High-Visibility Teams course about?
You're expected to lead, influence, and deliver, but without direct authority, formal budget, or clear mandate. Traditional leadership models assume positional power, but real impact today comes from alignment, credibility, and consistency. The gap isn't skill, it's strategy. Without a framework tailored to informal leadership, even the most capable contributors stall, overextend, or burn out trying to do it all alone.
