If Strategy Is So Important, Why Don't We Make Time for It?
Almost every leader wants to make more time for strategic thinking. In one survey of 10,000 senior leaders, 97% of them said that being strategic was the leadership behavior most important to their organization's success. And yet in another study, a full 96% of the leaders surveyed said they lacked the time for strategic thinking.
It's important to remember that strategic thinking doesn't necessarily require large amounts of time; it's not about taking endless sabbaticals or going on leadership retreats.

Editor's Note: India is no Saudi Arabia for the US that it would look the other way. Confronting China, the US is already stressing more on the good ol' spiel about democracy, freedom and rights. It won't be possible for Biden to make a big deal about democratic values and hug Modi three times a year if India's democratic deficit keeps growing.

Comparison Shopping in the Age of Information Overload When consumers try to estimate a product specification, their best guess depends on whether they believe that they forgot this information or that they were never exposed to it.
