Honing strategic craftsmanship

As I have said before, I still haven’t met anyone who is a great natural strategist. The great ones are great because they have practiced so as to develop their capabilities. To the extent that I am a good strategist, it is because I have practiced for four decades.

Spend lots of time with customers, get used to continuously tweaking decisions to migrate towards perfection rather than attempting to leapfrog directly to it, reverse-engineer the status quo to embolden you in creating the future, become a data omnivore, take full advantage of the views of others, and engage in category treasure hunts.
