Leadership Lesson: King of Visibility
Last week, a good friend and teammate shot me a message:
“Bryce, you’re the king of visibility. Thank you, I really appreciate it.”
It was kind and appreciated.
But let me be clear—visibility isn’t about ego.
It’s about leadership.
Yes, my team probably cringes at how much I communicate at times.
But I’d rather overcommunicate and annoy than under-communicate and crash into an iceberg no one saw coming.
Here’s the metaphor I live by:
I’m the captain of our ship.
I stand up top with binoculars, scanning the horizon.
My team works hard below deck, moving us forward.
It’s my job to communicate what’s coming early and often.
Not because I need the spotlight.
Because without visibility, teams drift.
Frustration festers.
And eventually, ships sink.
So here’s your leadership lesson:
We don’t live in a perfect world.
There is no “perfect” amount of communication.
It’s always too much or too little.
When in doubt:
Lean in.
Communicate what’s happening.
Share the vision.
You might annoy a few people in the moment.
But they’ll thank you when they see the shore.
Today is your reminder to be the King/Queen of visibility to your team!
