When Youre Told Youre Not Strategic Enough - Harvard Business Review

Being told you’re not strategic enough can be frustrating. If your
strategy isn’t seen and understood, it’s as if it doesn’t exist
at all. By making your strategy visible and easy to understand through

approach. Crises and day-to-day pressures should not get in the way of
your strategic thinking; instead, use these moments to demonstrate

Conclave Is a Mild Thriller About a Tense Papal Election - The New
Yorker [[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=84328&nl=daily]
A reformist Pope who boldly leads the Catholic Church into
controversial changes should be played by an actor of commanding

Novelli, with no other credits and no exceptional screen aura. The
role is a very difficult one: when the action begins, that Pope is
dead, and the actor has nothing to do but lie still. All the more
reason that this character, who, even in death, exerts a powerful grip
over his followers and allies, should be played by an international
star of irrepressible charismaa quality with religious connotationsso
that the very sight of him, however brief, inspires awe.
