The Short-Term Trap
Many organizations today are caught in the cycle of short-termism, driven by the pressure to deliver quarterly results to shareholders.

Leadership's Role in Shaping the Future
The episode highlights the pivotal role leaders play in translating this long-term vision into actionable strategies. Leaders are tasked with the responsibility of ensuring that their teams understand and align with the organization's overarching goals. This involves fostering an environment where agile practices and innovation are balanced with a consistent and unwavering focus on the future.

By prioritizing a visionary approach over short-term gains, organizations can unlock new avenues for sustainable growth and development.

AI Transcript:
Sometimes we're not thinking long term. A lot of organizations are focused on quarterly success figures that they have promised to the shareholders. I think we need to go back to think long term where we go 5 to 10 years ahead to have a vision where we want to be, and then getting step by step where we want to be.
in 10 years, but do the actions today to be understanding, are we still on the right path? A lot of organizations are missing the 5 to 10 year and just focus on the short term results. Let's go back to be able to understand the vision for the different team members and not changing the vision and the direction all the time. Yes, we need to be agile on a daily base, but I think we need to have a clear vision of where the organization is going. We as leaders have the responsibility to translate this vision into daily actions and help the team as well to understand what the vision is for them and how that impacts their life.
