Your strategy isn’t a plan. It’s a set of commitments

Too many business strategies look good on paper but fail in practice. Why? Because they’re not strategies; they’re wishlists.

Real strategy is about deciding what NOT to do.

It’s not a to-do list. It’s a map. One that guides decisions, focuses resources, and creates alignment from the top down.

Here’s what a real strategy includes:


• Objective reality - where are we now and what’s actually working?
• Clear target - what exactly are we trying to achieve, specifically, and by when?
• Positioning & leverage - what sets us apart and where do we win?
• Sequencing - what happens first and what gets parked or cut?

Strategy isn’t static. It evolves. It's tested, refined, and adapted, but not abandoned when pressure builds.

If your team doesn’t know the strategy, or how their work supports it, you don’t have one.

Get clear. Get focused. Then get moving.
