Appreciate this piece, David. You capture the power of agency—but I think the real opportunity is connecting that agency to long-horizon strategy. Strategy isn’t just fast execution; it’s the deliberate configuration of choices and trade-offs that give those daily actions meaning. Engineers and Designers belong in that conversation to surface the horizon opportunities no one else can see.
That’s a great callout and good point. My hope is that execution is now appreciated and it’ll draw a light for Engineers and Designers to be in those conversations more too!
