Leading action is not rocket science

It's about providing a clear direction so that your team can succeed.

• Set constraints and boundaries for teamwork.
• Acknowledge that strategy is extra work — benefits outweigh the downsides.
• Make sure that stategy is a coherent narrative at all levels.

I’ve shared my thoughts about all these before.
