Introduction

Strategy is messy. It’s happening simoulteaneously at different levels, with different lenses, different time horizons, among many other stakes at play.

My guest in this episode, John Cutler, has a remarkable ability to bridge the world of theories with what we actually face down the road when executing. Together, we unravel the intricacies of the 'messy middle,' that challenging space between lofty company aspirations and the day-to-day grind of teams.

The conversation was extremely valuable to me, because it brought actionable ideas to complex topics like:

• helping team think bigger and wider,

• what is important to define to have a solid strategy,

• how to (or not to) align,

and many more topics.
