Myths

  • Your success is only a portion of what it could be with an intentional strategy

  • You have a lot of recurring meetings where you talk about stuff, consensus is usually achieved, but everyone has their own version of the desired outcomes

  • The infrequent mention at company gatherings and the framed values in the lobby aren't driving any desired behaviors nor results

  • The effectiveness of the strategy is unknown because there aren't any weekly and monthly measures

  • You have no scorecard nor a rhythm of reviewing it

  • Your strategy is actually internal planning and execution and there is a lack of understanding of what a strategy actually is
