In this week's podcast, Kevin, Lou, & Madiha discuss the importance of understanding the mission and vision of a team to guide decision-making and navigate turmoil. We also explore the concept of product market fit and the importance of identifying competitive advantage. We encourage listeners to consider answering the questions of direct, secondary, and indirect competitive advantage and to start a dialogue within their organization to build a shared understanding of their place in the market. We also encourage listeners to be honest about the reality of a situation and to ask questions to fully understand the scope of a problem before making any strategic pivots. Finally, we discuss the importance of considering whether or not it is necessary to take action in response to a problem and the potential value of "doing nothing" in some situations.
