#short on Strategy vs. Tactics

"Strategy without tactics is the slowest route to victory. Tactics without strategy is the noise before defeat." -Sun Tzu


This applies to SO MANY common business problems.


Teams are often much more concerned with moving fast to meet short-term goals, often related to impatient stakeholders. 😖


This often means they skip proper strategizing or their strategies get frequently blown up for a variety of reasons.


Everyone often just focuses on tactics because that's perceived to be more productive.


It must be strategy, then tactics. Not tactics, then strategy.


Even worse? Tactics alone. 🤦‍♀️


More teams and businesses as a whole should be willing to take short-term sacrifices for long-term gains. Sometimes sacrifices aren't even required. Sometimes it's just a matter of changing how work is done.


It's fascinating to me how difficult it is to get people on board with this, even if they know it's right but ignore it anyway.
