Hi Reader, Most leaders I talk to don't have a strategy problem; they have an execution crisis. They have the vision, but they’re drowning in "administrative flooding" while their most important goals drift. I’m opening 4 slots for April for my 60-Minute Execution Strategy Audit ($495). I’m a Navy Mustang (E-1 to O-6) and COVID-era CO. I find your flooding and fix it so you can stop "planning" and start hitting targets. Reply "EXECUTE" if you're ready to take the watch, and I'll send the briefing link. Stop drifting. Vr, CAPT Michael Whitt, USN, Ret. To Getting It Done! |

The "dry dock" recovery is going exactly according to plan, but sitting around watching TV isn't in my DNA. I am already mapping out the next mission. Over 38 years in the Navy, rising...
Hi Reader, Bottom Line Up Front: Take action now. The "gurus" will tell you that Decision is king. Others say Momentum is everything. I say no. You can’t have momentum without movement, and a decision without a deed is just a daydream. In my 38 years of Naval leadership, I learned one truth: Action is the engine that drives everything else.Do you stall because you don’t "feel" like it? Are you waiting for a perfect plan? I’ve been there. I’ve drifted while waiting for the "right mood"—until I...
