Strategy is choosing what to ignore: saying yes to everything doesn’t mean you have a strategy — it means you have fear and no focus.
Mediocre managers accumulate projects the way retired generals accumulate medals — impressive to no one, useful to nothing. The good ones do the opposite: they cut, discard, stay sharp as a razor, always moving, sometimes satisfied but never complacent.
Real leadership is probably this: disappointing someone today so you can deliver for many tomorrow.
Are you willing to do that?
