In 2021, when my book was released, I was invited shortly after to speak to a group at LinkedIn. LinkedIn staff were kicking off year two of their book club, and had chosen to do so with Read to Lead.

My invitation to join that group came from Dan Horowitz, LinkedIn’s senior director of LinkedIn ads. It was a great experience.

Dan reached out last year and introduced me to author Ann Latham. Ann has written several books and hundreds of articles over the years. I had her on about 10 weeks ago to discuss her book called The Disconnect Principle: Eliminate Difficult Conversations with Clarity and Empathy.

Today, I’ve invited her back to talk about her modern-day classic, released in 2021, called The Power of Clarity: Unleash the True Potential of Workplace Productivity, Confidence, and Empowerment.

In The Power of Clarity, Ann Latham exposes the unrecognized confusion and explains how to eliminate it. This fascinating guide to workplace productivity and effectiveness draws upon extensive research and case studies to demonstrate how you can get better results in far less time while also increasing confidence and commitment.

In today’s episode, I ask Ann to share:

• Clarity blindness, and how it prevents us from recognizing the everyday things that cost us
• Why clarity in-the-moment is more important than big-picture clarity
• The biggest enemies of focus in the workplace (i’m guessing you have a few ideas) 
• And lots more!
