Marc Haine explains why a 90-day plan beats a rigid 5-year vision. Small, frequent adjustments like a pilot's 1% course corrections catch mistakes early when they're cheap to fix, turning every error into learning that moves you forward.
Somebody once told me that there's no such thing as a mistake, only learning, which I thought was brilliant.
I love how you talked about some things they have to have this massive 5-year plan. And it's okay to have this vision of what you want to achieve. And that could be 1, 3, 5 years out. But it's the little incremental steps that are going to get you there. I liken it to a pilot when he's driving from point A to point B. He doesn't realize When he's almost supposed to be at the airport, that he's in the wrong direction, he adjusts 1%, you know, all the way. Right. And that's the same with the 90-day plan versus the 5-year vision. And you talked about the expense of failure. If you go down that path of 5 years and then you realize you're on the wrong path, that's a whole lot more expensive than a mistake 90 days in. And a correction.
