Many businesses do not have a complete strategic plan. We all know that “failing to plan is planning to fail.” Just like the GPS you use every day in your car, strategic planning requires a clear destination, adequate resources, and a well-planned route. Two-Star General (retired) Chris McPadden shared this simple GPS analogy on this week's episode of the Leadership After Hours podcast. Drawing from his expertise and experience as the US Army’s Strategy Chief, General McPadden sheds light on the fundamental components and common pitfalls of strategic planning, offering invaluable lessons for businesses striving for success.

Chris is currently the CEO & President of Drive Forward Consulting. A strategic planning consulting company.
