Freestyle Reflections on “The Sense-Maker's Advantage"

In this freestyle episode of The book of gaberock, I explore the concept of the sense-maker — the leader who brings clarity to complexity and direction to uncertainty.

• Why sense-making is one of the most valuable leadership skills today

• How leaders can create clarity without oversimplifying

• The connection between clarity, trust, and confidence
