Without it, they’re left guessing at the connection and the guess has a much higher chance of being wrong.
The "Magic Patterns" really land. They’re a practical way to help execution-driven people practice strategic thinking without abandoning what makes them strong. This is the kind of translation skill you only really learn by watching how senior leaders talk, and you’ve made it teachable.

Thanks so much Laura
