A military strategist explains how a clear top-level goal, paired with a detailed plan, lets leaders adapt when reality hits. Mike Tyson said it best: everyone has a plan till they get hit in the mouth. The plan itself teaches you how to stay on course when everything changes.
You're reminding me of some, some other quotes, but that have some sort of interesting application. And the first is, you know, in the military, there's this concept of a command objective, which is like, you know, take the top of that hill or secure this bridge or take out that bridge or take out that hill. And, you know, sort of the commanding officer is charged with— this is what you've got to accomplish. And you've got a plan. But as Mike Tyson says, everyone has a plan till they get hit in the mouth. And in the military, they say, you know, all plans go out the window once you make contact with the enemy. And the same thing is true in business. And I love this concept of the process of creating the plan allows you to then adapt to changing conditions as you work towards that command objective of taking the top of that hill.
