One of the most underestimated leadership skills is the ability to reduce uncertainty.
Not by controlling everything.
Not by having all the answers.
But by creating a sense of direction people can trust.
Most teams don’t stall because they’re lazy or unmotivated. They stall because too much feels unclear at once. Priorities shift. Decisions feel inconsistent. Context is missing.
So people slow down.
They double check.
They wait for permission.
They hesitate instead of acting.
What looks like a performance issue is often an orientation issue.
Good leadership gives people a stable reference point.
What matters right now.
How choices will be made.
What success looks like in this moment.
That clarity doesn’t need to be perfect. It just needs to be steady.
When leaders are consistent, teams stop bracing and start building.
When people feel grounded, they take smarter risks.
When direction is clear, momentum returns.
If your team feels tense or stuck, resist the urge to push harder.
Look instead at what might feel uncertain from their side.
Leadership isn’t about accelerating people.
It’s about giving them solid ground to move from.

I Met a Billionaire. Here’s What Really Changed.
Founders think meeting a billionaire will chance their business. I met one. What did it change?” Last week, I spent a few days on Necker Island with Richard Branson as part of an Entrepreneurs’ Organization event. Beautiful setting, incredible hospitality, unforgettable activities. I expected some great insights and learnings from the conversations with Richard himself, an entrepreneur who’s achieved what we all can only dream about. Here’s what I didn’t expect: The most valuable conversations didn’t happen with Sir R, they happened with the other entrepreneurs in the room. People solving problems in businesses with real constraints. People asking the same questions I’m asking. What stayed with me wasn’t a quote from the stage or a moment of brilliance from Sir R. It was the honesty in late-night conversations. The feeling of being seen and understood among peers. The shared challenges and the practical ideas. The feeling of, “Oh, you’re dealing with that, too?” For me, inspiration doesn’t come from proximity to icons, it comes from relatable peers. People who understand my world because they’re living in it. And that’s the reason I keep coming back to EO over and over again, for the peer-to-peer learning that actually changes how I lead. The trip was unforgettable, the setting was surreal, but the real value? → The people sitting next to me, not the one standing on the pedestal.
