One “must” for this week

“Your strategy should be a hypothesis you constantly adjust” by Amy Edmondson.

While learning is a critical skill for personal and organizational success, adopting the leadership mindset that allows ongoing learning can be challenging.

Research on strategic failures in different industries reveals that gaps in execution can lead to failures when the initial strategy is not adapted.

Strategies should be viewed as hypotheses that need constant adjustment based on new information and discoveries, with a “strategy-as-learning” approach.
