The Blind Spot

What you don't see is running your strategy.

Maybe you got promoted into a job nobody explained. Maybe you’ve been doing this for twenty years and just got dropped into a mess that looks nothing like the last one.

Either way, the playbook that got you here has stopped working. So you do what has always worked. You work harder, take more meetings, fix whatever’s in front of you.

The results still don’t match the effort.

Sometimes the problem is the one nobody put on the list.

Strategy is a way of seeing, not a title you earn. You can learn it, no matter what seat you’re in.

What lands in your inbox
Every Sunday morning, one essay about how organizations really behave and how decisions really get made, as opposed to how the org chart says they do.

Each week I pick one idea, read everything I can find on it, argue with it, and write down what survived. No frameworks to memorize. No ten-step plans. Just something you’ll look at differently on Monday.

Who it’s for
New leaders and accidental managers. Seasoned ones who keep getting sent into territory nobody has mapped.

See what you’ve been missing.
