About Strategy
Strategy is the art and science of continuously determining, in pursuit of a goal, where you need to be and why you need to be there.
There are two kinds of strategists: Leaders and Analysts. Leaders try to prove what they believe, and Analysts try to believe what they can prove.
However, these two approaches are far from contradictory. Instead, they are dynamically complementary, and it is typical, not unusual, that a strategist will capitalize on the products of one approach by using the other approach. This "dialog" has no speed limits or prerequisite schedules, and a strategist collaborates with himself or herself as often as with others.
