Leading with clarity

Leading a team is hard enough — leading one when the strategy keeps shifting is something else entirely. In this episode, executive coach Muriel Wilkins works with Michael, a leader caught in constant re-direction, unclear priorities, and turnover at the top. As the ground keeps moving, he’s struggling to keep his team focused and motivated.

Muriel helps him take a step back, rethink how he leads through ambiguity, and regain control of what is in his hands — from setting a steadier direction for his team to making their value visible to senior leaders. If you’ve ever led a team while everything around you keeps changing, this conversation offers a grounded, practical look at how to stay steady when the strategy won’t sit still.
