Introduction

When exploring corporate leadership, it’s common to focus heavily on strategies and grand visions. However, the real driving force behind progress often doesn’t get enough attention: the team. Consider the team as the heart of innovation, agility, and growth. This piece dives into the CLEAR Model and its role in reshaping team building and organisational leadership, transforming ordinary groups into extraordinary performers.

The CLEAR Model — Lighting the Way in Team Building

At the heart of my book, “Clearly Agile — A Leadership Guide to Business Agility,” is the CLEAR Model (Culture, Leadership, Execution, Adaptability, and Responsiveness). This model guides mastering team dynamics at the brisk pace of modern business. Each element of the model presents a new way to form teams that excel, not just participate.

Culture: Cultivating a Collaborative Landscape

Culture is like fertile soil, crucial for growing a successful team. Creating an atmosphere where openness, innovation, and mutual respect are more than just words is vital. The CLEAR Model helps leaders foster a setting where collaboration is standard.
