What it does
When something big changes, leaders often send a vague note: "we need to be more agile." The team nods and carries on with the old plan, because no one said what to stop or what to do next. This skill writes the memo that does. It states what changed and how your own view moved, compares it to an earlier shift you lived through and names the rivals who do parts of it well. It sets the new top priority in one line, lists the changes area by area, asks each leader to try the new thing and study rivals' versions, and sets a date to revise the plan.
