Things are moving too quickly to be able to sit back, review the world, debate at length, and suggest a grand vision to be reviewed five years later. This is a thing of the past.
Executing brilliantly yet failing to consider the long-term implications of these actions can mean a failure. Equally, focusing on the future, failing against the present demands, or not executing against the vision, will not get you there. The need to execute with the future in mind, or strategize while executing requires leaders to become adaptive.
We had a great discussion with Jernej Pirc, General Manager at SoftwareONE Slovenia, about how to execute effectively while being highly strategic? During our conversation, Jernej raised many valid points and shared his guidance on what to keep high on our list when bringing the future into the present, to solve today’s problems?
