Each of these three steps is required and required to be executed in this exact order. You see, if you make decisions without planning, you may get trapped in an ambush. If you move boldly without the planning, you may jump unexpectedly into enemy territory. Making decisions quickly has been a challenge for me at times, because I spend too much time in the “plan carefully” step, and opportunity is lost. Of course, without the careful planning, you may not see the full picture or end result and wind up conquering the wrong country – YIKES, I don’t speak this language!
As a leader, it is just as important for you to be strategic in your leading, and to put adequate thought into each of these three steps. I am reminded once again of a saying, “As goes the leader, so goes the company/country.” Strategic leadership is vital in today’s fast-paced Global world. I challenge you to evaluate every decision, every move, and every choice with these words from Risk: “Plan carefully, make decisions quickly and move boldly.”
I challenge you:
- Lead strategically. Play the game of Risk with your child, spouse, or co-worker. How strategic IS your thinking?
- For the next 30 days, evaluate one decision each day based on these three criteria: “Plan carefully, make decisions quickly and move boldly.”
