Strategy

Know where you're going and how you'll win. Set off with no destination and you end up anywhere.

A buyer may ask
"Is there a written plan, and does the team know it?"
Why it matters
A buyer wants to see where the business is going, on paper. A plan that lives in your head leaves with you.
What you get
You stop reacting to the week and start steering. Your team pulls in the same direction, and you decide how and when you step back.
