Plans or strategies?

​Colleagues,
 
We are often taught to set goals and then develop a plan for achieving them. Sometimes this works, but many times plans become insufficient. Changing conditions or unanticipated outcomes can easily render plans ineffectual or even useless. I’m not saying you shouldn’t plan, but along with your plans, try identifying some core strategies.
 
Strategies are the things that you can do daily that will help you achieve your goals. If a plan is a roadmap to achieving a goal, strategies are the vehicle for executing the plan. Even if the road map changes, we will still need a vehicle for traveling the route. In other words, strategies can remain useful even if the plan falls apart.
 
I hope you have a plan in place for helping your people grow this year. More importantly, I hope you have strategies for achieving your plan.
 
What are your core strategies for helping your people grow this year? If you have some, consider sharing them with me. If you don’t have any, make sure you read tomorrow.
 
Do good and be well,
 
Frederick
