Over the years, I have found numerous uses for this simple strategy of thought. This is where you ensure there is adequate strategy in place to accomplish the goal. Once the actual strategy is in place it’s good to renew agreement before proceeding. The WHAT Test. Who is going to do what? Who’s responsible?

There are times, however, if you want the change to be successful, you must use strategy to make the decision. Thankfully, not all decisions a leader makes requires using strategy. This is especially where other people are brought into the strategy part of making the decision. The issue is subject to resistance.

As the organization grows – and as strategy changes – additions in structure have to be added. It’s messier, harder to contain, even uncomfortable at times, but it also keeps leaders energized, maintains momentum, and helps spur exponential growth. Even entrepreneurs shouldn’t be afraid of healthy structure.

And while I believe in a good strategy and a well-executed plan as much as anyone, the simple reality is that scripts don’t work most of the time. It’s easier – and less messy when we can script things out the way they should work. The way we want things to happen makes life cleaner. Life is more tidy with scripts.

I love a good whiteboard strategy session. The more you can strategically plan your moves, especially in the early days of a new leadership position, the more you can help steer them to a positive outcome. In every area of your leadership, take time to think through the best way to handle the situation. Again, get input from key people.
