Design the future of your business.

Growing your business is a constant tension between managing the immediate and planning for the future. Far too often the strategic is held hostage by the urgent.

Take a break from the urgent and join me for some strategic thinking about your business.

I’m Leary Gates, and for the past 30 years I’ve worked with executive leaders to drive strategic thinking about their business, and in this Substack I’ll be sharing some of the topics I’ve explored with my clients.

Sunday think time.

Every Sunday morning, I’ll send you a short email with a question for you to ponder about your business followed by a brief commentary to inspire your thinking on the topic. If you decide to become a premium subscriber, you’ll also receive additional content and practical tools to help you apply your strategic thinking to your business.

You’ll get the most benefit by resisting the quick read—instead, find a time when you can read it slowly, reflectively. Many leaders have found that journaling through the questions and topics is a powerful way to unleash your strategic thinking about your business.

However you choose to approach it, consider each email to be an invitation for discovery. I’m simply here to set the table for you to design the best future for you and your business.
