STRATEGY V IMPLEMENTATION (THINKING V DOING)

In today's world, the emphasis often falls on advice rather than execution. There's a premium placed on those who dispense guidance, while the act of putting plans into action is often regarded as menial or secondary. We often speak of leaders occupying the upper echelons, managers in the middle, and workers below them, yet implementation seems to fall by the wayside. We excel at generating brilliant ideas, crafting compelling narratives, and delineating visions and values. However, when it comes to executing these plans, we falter. Instead of acknowledging this failure as a shortfall in our strategy, we attribute it to resistance to change, insufficient resources, or time constraints, as if the strategy itself were flawless and destined for success if not for these external barriers. In reality, this is naive. A truly effective strategy is one that can be carried out, and the ultimate measure of success lies in its implementation. Thus, implementation reigns supreme.
