Starting With Clarity

Many problems come about in life because there is a lack of clarity from the onset of a given relationship.

In organizations, guidelines help people know what to do when and when and to speak with whom (Lencioni). In relationships, many, many needless tension mounts when people, especially couples, avoid dealing with issues.

Even thought it can be a bit heavy, it’s important to lay out the ground rules for communication and organizational procedure at the beginning.
