Listen now | One of my favorite sayings comes from Mike Tyson, the champion boxer: ”Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the mouth.” So, if plans are so useless, why plan?
I appreciate your highlighting that just because plans often change doesn't mean we should not plan and prepare. Plans should not be in-depth masterpieces or 20-page documents. That is certainly a waste of time. However, a high-level set of guardrails that the team can follow and adapt as the punches are thrown is critical to taking steps in some semblance of the right direction.

That's an important point. Plans don't have to be in depth. In fact, making them too involved can be a detriment. Thanks for the comment!
Bobbing and weaving and taking the punches is so critical to change that needs to happen.
“Float like a butterfly and sting like a bee” could be the leader’s mantra.
