Just listened to a fascinating episode of Inside the Strategy Room from McKinsey & Company- discussing how small, bold steps can help leaders effectively navigate today's uncertain landscape. https://lnkd.in/eRV8FTK5 The need for real-time strategy adaptation is clear. With the pace of change in tech and global markets, annual strategic planning cycles risk becoming obsolete. Strategy now requires agility and accepting failures as part of the learning and growth process. 'Imperfectionism' struck a chord with me. I agree that organizations can benefit significantly from making iterative, informed steps—building knowledge and capability without waiting for perfect conditions. When I think about the changes and challenges that have impacted supply chain management over the last five years, there's a clear need to embrace flexibility in strategic thinking. To ensure resilience and efficiency, leaders must embrace technology, foster adaptability and engage all organizational levels in strategy. #SupplyChain #SupplyChainManagement #Leadership #Strategy #BusinessResilience #BakerHughes #WeAreBakerHughes

Is the evolution of business the result of our vision and willpower, or of a deterministic system? I read the most fascinating thesis from William Strauss and Neil Howe and couldn't help but wonder: Are Millennials the G.I. Generation of their century? And is there a pressure for generations - as a collective power - to shape society? Have we been overlooking the deeper, systemic changes necessary for enduring success? I summarised it here: https://lnkd.in/ek8Nnb4c #businesstransformation #innovation #leadership

“Looking for certainty can obscure opportunity. Taking smaller yet bold steps provides a more sure-footed path through uncertainty.” ~ McKinsey & Co, April 8, 2024 _ _ _ Leaders who seek perfection often find themselves paralysed by uncertainty, clinging to familiar paths rather than exploring new opportunities. When leaders embrace imperfection, they create an opportunity for innovation and growth. Taking smaller, bolder steps acknowledges that the journey is more important than the destination. This mindset empowers leaders to experiment, learn from missteps, and adapt to changing circumstances. In doing so, they develop a culture of resilience that will inspire their teams to take calculated risks. As a leader, are you creating a space where imperfection is not just tolerated but celebrated as a catalyst for progress? #leaders #leadership #leadershipdevelopment #professionaldevelopment #personaldevelopment #peopledevelopment #coaching #executivecoaching #leadershipcoaching #coachingmentoring #professionalcoaching #icfcoach #kaceconsultants
