Strategy
Relying on creating a near-perfect strategy will not generate performance.
Thinking about strategy as a deliverable is inadequate.
The best strategies do not come as a deliverable, but from a way of being.
It is one thing to prepare and have a plan.
It is another thing entirely to expect a strategy to solve all unforeseen future challenges.
The logical error occurs when the desire to plan turns into the brain’s need for certainty.
Being planful and strategic are perspectives a leader can adopt.
Doing so requires a level of comfort with navigating the unknown.
When that comfort fails, the conditioned reaction for most is to shift from being strategic to creating a strategy.
When your strategy is failing, catch yourself moving to recreate something.
Slow down and consider pivoting from doing strategy to being strategic.
