After facing what’s in the way , you are ready to determine the path:
- Be a fair witness
- Pull back the camera
- Sort for feasibility, impact, & timeliness (FIT)
Continue being objective as a fair witness and by pulling back the camera. Now, though, the whole picture should be coming into clearer focus. You know where you’ve been. You know where you are. You know where you’re going. You know what’s in the way.
Sort For FIT:
Can you actually pull this off (feasibility)? Is the strategy moving you toward your desired outcomes without breaking the bank (impact)? Does this strategy have to be done now or are other things more pressing (timeliness)?
These guiding principles are highlighted in Erika Andersen’s book Being Strategic.
