Translate the Strategy Before Your Team Asks Why [46]

Show notes

Nate argues that corporate strategy is written so abstractly that most SEs never connect it to their week — and the first-line SE leader is the only person who can translate it. Ava pushes on whether a three-hour kickoff discussion survives when the strategy itself is mush.

What Nate and Ava discuss

• Why the layer with nothing between it and the team owns the translation work
• Blocking three hours at the fiscal-year start — a discussion, not a broadcast
• Letting the team define what it wants to be measured on, and what that surfaces early

The move

Before the fiscal year starts, write down in two sentences what the company wants and what it means for your team — then spend three hours testing that with them and asking what they want to be measured on.
