Ideas You Never Had.
There are strategies that would have changed everything.
They didn’t fail. They never arrived.
As leaders succeed, something subtle happens.
The same practical mind that enables execution starts appearing earlier in the thinking process. It begins filtering ideas before they are fully formed — editing them, constraining them, killing them quietly.
You cannot allow the practical mind to touch the space where ideas are born.
