THREE GUIDELINES FOR DEVELOPING STRATEGY

"Life is very simple, but keeping it that way is very difficult."
-John Maxwell

The following comes from "The 15 Invaluable Laws of Growth" by John Maxwell.  I think they are three key points when creating a game plan or making teaching points to your team.

1. Can it be received personally? A profound implication -- it must be internalized and transform the soul of the leader.

2. Can it be repeated easily? Simple application -- it must be passed on after only a brief encounter.

3. Can it be transferred strategically?  A universal communication -- it must be passed on to all cultural contexts.

"The secret is found in simplicity."
-Neil Cole
