A batch of the best highlights from what Felicity's read, .
*Staff Engineer* introduces an approach I call [Take five, then synthesize](https://lethain.us20.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f7003ed301623a88fab7cf783&id=1e5e9d0544&e=a102c6f471), which does strategy by:
1. Documenting how five current and historical related decisions have been made in your organization. This is an extended exploration phase
2. Synthesizing those five documents into a diagnosis and policy. You are naming the implicit strategy, so it’s impossible for someone to reasonably argue you’re not empowered to do strategy: you’re just describing what’s already happening

Key Results take all that inspirational language and quantify it. You create them by asking a simple question, “How would we know if we met our Objective?”

*Take small steps.* Rather than trying to predict outcomes, aim to test, explore, and improvise. Consider each step or action you take to be a small, brief experiment. Try something, then step back and observe what happens. Then, try again. Remember that many small steps can add up to a great big change given a little time and persistence.
