🍐2 Most Common Pitfalls to Strategies...

Do me a solid: take my 4-question NPS survey! (30 seconds or so!)

The Big Idea: Pitfalls of Strategy.

Two common ones:

• Trying to do too much.

• Not making a decision.

In almost every strategy workshop I do, I see some variation of these two points.

The business either wants to be everything to everyone. Or, they try to avoid making a decision by “planning”, creating “working groups”, “meeting”, or something else.

As we’ve covered consistently here, strategy is about:

• Making a decision on where you are heading.

• Focusing on the destination.

• Taking consistent action to get to your goal.

If you can’t look at your strategy and say, “Yes. We are doing that.” you might not have a strategy.
