Business (and life) is more like a marathon than sky diving.
The dive might stand out in our memory. But your success comes from your approach to the marathon.
You are playing the infinite game. You can’t win that game 2-1 in triple overtime.
As James Carse neatly outlined, the players change, the rules change, the field changes.
That is the world you live in. Think about the last 5 years.
COVID reshaped the workplace and many customer buying habits.
The global economic order is forever changed. Supply chains are being (re)evaluated. Customer relationships rethought. The entire premise of many businesses must be reimagined.
AI, with its 30% year over year productivity potential, is rewriting the traditional org chart as we contend with integrating AI agents into the way we deliver value.
And you run a business in a world that is shifting, a market that is changing, and a workplace that is fundamentally rewriting the way it can deliver value (processes, people, technology (and especially AI))
Are you adapting?
Are you evolving at the right speed to thrive in this shifting eco-system?
You can’t cheat the marathon. You do the reps. You put in the work. Then you deal with the world as it is, not as you wished it were. In training and on race day.
And you can’t cheat strategy. It is a living, breathing, self-correcting conversation that informs execution.
