DO: State intentions before you take the lead

Say It, Then Seize It

Your speed isn’t noble when no one knows where you’re going. You call it initiative. They call it control. When you seize the wheel without declaring the destination, you turn leadership into a power grab. That’s the selfish part. Stop pretending your silence is humility. Say what you’re after, out loud, upfront. Put the label on the jar before you pass it around. Win consent, then move.

Declaring your intentions sets tempo; it gives people a chance to align or opt out. It makes you braver because you can be measured. Aries is cardinal fire: you start the spark; ignition needs oxygen, and words are oxygen. Stating the goal protects your energy from backchannels and resentment. It turns collisions into collaboration. The room accelerates when your clarity arrives first.
