Three patterns I’ve seen that derail even the most well-intentioned strategy discussions:
📌Solving the wrong problem – is often like treating the symptoms, not the disease.
When answers are cheap (in the AI era), asking the right questions is a super power.
📌Jumping to the ‘how’ too soon – execution without alignment is chaos.
It creates a sense of busy-ness, but has no impact on the bottomline of your business.
📌Mistaking participation for commitment – all nodding heads are not equal.
If someone does not have a skin in the game, their participation means nothing. Choose wisely who is invited to the discussion table.

Spot these early, and you save months of wasted effort.
