Lead with strategy: The power to change is in the power to handle change

Even more than choice of direction, the job of strategy is to bring steer.

Strategy is the key to organizational liberation and offers passage to the future of work in the rising era of digital and generative AI.

The future belongs to companies best at combining bold steer with an open and emergent approach to innovation.

Encouraging and balancing conflicting ideas is more crucial than ever.

The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in the mind at the same time, and still retain the ability to function.

(Scott Fitzgerald, The Crack-Up)
