As men we need to see the truth and keep that front and center in our minds without deluding ourselves about how things ACTUALLY ARE
But when communicating with those who count on us, we need to keep in mind that they need to know what THEY NEED TO KNOW to keep serving the plan

When someone asks us what we're doing to accomplish XYZ, it's not a question about what we're actually doing
If it's something meaningful that we really OWN, they don't even understand what it takes to get the job done anyway
It's a test of your leadership...

Were best advised to consider first what they need to hear

The full picture, the entire vision, the MASTRE PLAN, stays with us
No one ACTUALLY cares about all that anyway. That's why we are leading the damn thing

All of that said... there are times when a partner, subordinate, or employee demonstrates they're aware of the master plan, the inside joke. They see all the angles, and can understand the music you're playing with all the different puzzle pieces...

Either way, it's MISSION FIRST.
None of this exists if you don't have a f**king master plan
