Winning should be at the heart of strategy. In our terms, a strategy is a coordinated and integrated set of five choices: a winning aspiration, where to play, how to win, core capabilities, and management systems.”

A.G. Lafley (former Chairman &  CEO of P&G) & Roger L. Martin

  1. Does this definition of strategy help demistify the concept? How?
  2. In the book, “Playing to Win,” the authors point out these choices need to be made at every level – company, department, team…even individual. How can you put these concepts to work where you are…today?
  3. Do you need to start from the beginning, or re-focus on a step in the process? Which one?

Oh, the comfort – the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person -having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but pouring them all right out, just as they are, chaff and grain together; certain that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping, and then with the breath of kindness blow the rest away.          ~Dinah Craik,                              (A Life for a Life)

  1. Do you have friendships in which you are “safe” with this kind of openness? What can you do to perserve this treasure?
  2. What can you do to be the “faithful hand…keep what is worth keeping…blow the rest away” for someone else?
