Deep dives
The Importance of Answering 'What are you trying to do?'
A bad plan is typically one that fails to answer the fundamental question of 'What are you trying to do?' This lack of clarity often leads to conflicts and competing motivations within teams. When individuals or teams have uncoordinated and varied motivations, it creates a lack of alignment and coordination. This becomes apparent when different roadmaps collide and competing priorities arise. To improve plans, it is crucial to explicitly ask and answer the question of what you are trying to achieve.
