See MCDP Commander’s Intent.

Announcing intent:

  • is a powerful way to exercise leadership in a self-organizing world;
  • is a form of disclosure, and disclosure is associated with greatness;
  • amounts to a passive ask for help, which in turn associates with greatness;
  • is a unilateral broadcast of information that does not require a reply from the receiver, reinforcing the receiver’s autonomy mastery purpose because they may choose to either help you or not;
  • shares essential information about the work that needs to be and is being done.

Announce your intentions early and often.

Therefore:

Know the intent at least two levels up and decide in favor of that general direction. Subordinate everything else.
