Lesson 6: Clarity of Objective in a Group

When a group is formed, it is essential that each member clearly understands the long-term objective of the group. Simply assigning tasks based on individual abilities or skills is not enough but every member must know how their contribution adds value to the larger purpose, beyond just completing the task at hand.

"Clarity Drives Commitment—When Everyone Knows the Why, the How Becomes Easier."

In the Ramayana, Hanuman was entrusted with the critical task of crossing the ocean to locate Sita. But his role went far beyond merely finding her and delivering Rama’s signet ring. Hanuman reassured Sita, gave her confidence, and conveyed Rama’s unwavering commitment to rescuing her. He understood the emotional and strategic importance of that moment. As proof of the meeting, Sita gave Hanuman a jewel from her hair, the "Chudamani" to pass on to Rama. This served as emotional and factual confirmation of Hanuman’s success.

Hanuman could do this because he had clarity. He deeply understood Rama’s intent and earned his complete trust. Before leaving for Lanka, Hanuman listened attentively to what Rama wanted to convey. He was clear about the Key Result Area (KRA): not just to find Sita, but to win her trust and prepare her for the journey ahead.

This clarity enabled Hanuman to focus his actions, words, and demeanor accordingly. When each member of a group is fully aware of their KRAs, it becomes a significant step toward achieving the shared goal. Clarity brings direction, unity, and ultimately, success.
