The Best Strategies are Arguments

Most leaders think strategy is about vision. But in reality? The best strategies are arguments.

Body:
MIT Sloan research shows that great strategy comes from constructive debate, logical rigor, and clear reasoning — not just inspiration.

  • Debate sharpens ideas and builds buy-in.
  • Strategy maps reveal the hidden logic of decisions.
  • Formalizing assumptions helps avoid costly blind spots.

Companies like Amazon and Netflix thrive because they encourage leaders to defend their ideas — and to challenge each other.

If your team isn’t debating, mapping, and testing arguments, you may not have a strategy at all.


👉 How does your organization encourage (or discourage) debate in strategy-making?
