I have been on a strategy kick lately—not having a strategy, getting feedback on your strategy, focus, strategic clarity, and balancing your portfolio of bets. Stick with me while I explore strategy. This post is about a common problem: yo-yo strategies. Does your company change strategy every six months? Do things feel highly reactive? Is your team experiencing whiplash as it responds to the latest shifts?
Whiplash: very easy for early stage startups to fall into this given market narrative pushes, "learn fast, iterate". Also very difficult to say no to opportunities that may be veering from the larger vision.
So much goodness in a single post.
