Have you ever attended a strategy meeting and wondered whether everyone in the forum had a clear understanding of what strategy meant? If you have, you are not alone. Interestingly, many such meetings roll on smoothly with impressive outcomes. That phenomenon is the ninth wonder of the world. Some participants probably spend many hours after the meeting engrossed in self-doubt or guilt, depending upon how loudly they spoke during the session. A cold or hot beverage usually works wonders during such moments of self-reflection. If you are one of those who experience self-doubt but usually emerge from strategy discussions with your conscience intact, you must count your blessings. You are a brave survivor. But whatever category you belong to, you have the cure for strategy-fuzziness. Strategem describes strategy with exceptional lucidity. Well-thought-out strategies are not only essential for business success; they are critical for success in personal life.
