Episode notes
Strategy vs. Tactics
- Many people misunderstand strategy, confusing it with tactics or plans.
- Strategy is a philosophy of becoming, a long-term approach, not a step-by-step guide.
Embracing Change
- Strategic planning is an oxymoron because planning implies guaranteed outcomes, while strategy acknowledges a range of possibilities.
- True strategy embraces change and uncertainty, viewing them as opportunities rather than threats.
Key Change Agents
- Three major change agents are transforming our world: fading boomers, artificial intelligence (AI), and climate change.
- Leaders must adapt to these shifts as they impact every system.
