1. 🧠CLEAR Model: Create ownership through reflection
CLEAR stands for:
đź’ˇ How to use it:
This one is great when someone brings you a challenge and you're not sure where to start.
Start with:
“What do you want to focus on in this conversation?”
Then listen. Fully!
Ask questions to understand what’s underneath the surface.
Once they see it clearly, ask: “What’s a first step you can take?”
And later, follow up: “How did that go?”
This model builds accountability while showing you care. Take notes during the conversation. This step is private for you as a leader (invite your team as collaborators)
