Choose wisely
It's just this...and certainly not all of that.
Strategy must be clear and simple.
From all of the options available, a focused direction is chosen based on insight and foresight.
Informed by the direction, a small number of choices are selected.
The resulting guideline is tight. Constrained. And comfortable with all of the options that are intentionally not being selected.
It's just this...and certainly not all of that.
Getting things down to this kind of simplicity is understandably tough.
It takes a humbling acceptance of trade-offs and risks.
Boldness in decision-making.
Making peace with everything that is not being chosen and staying the course when inevitably somebody (usually somebody not involved in the development of the insight / foresight that informed the strategy) comes up with a better idea.
Whatever path you choose to take and commit to...choose wisely.
