Episode Description from the Publisher

Remember five-year plans? Yeah, so do I. It turns out that quite a few people made careers out of writing them! Unfortunately, they are about as useful as a paper map in the age of Waze and Google Maps. Planning "far ahead" feels kind of quaint, especially when half the time we can't even guess what next quarter's going to look like. Whether you're a leader expected to deliver certainty, a manager juggling rapid change, or an employee anxious about keeping up, this episode is your roadmap through chaos. We dive deep into the rise and fall of planning frameworks, so you'll know exactly why the ground keeps shifting beneath your feet.
