Dlaczego firmy mylą strategię z listą życzeń? Kończysz z Power Pointem zamiast planu | GAMBIT #49

Why do companies confuse strategy with a wish list? You end up with a PowerPoint presentation instead of a plan. 🎙️ GAMBIT podcast, ad-free and with additional content for 30 days free: https://herohero.co/michalkanarkiewic... [self-promotion] What's the difference between strategy and a wish list, and why do most Polish companies confuse the two? Which pillar of strategic thinking is the most difficult to implement? How do you start thinking long-term when you're putting out fires every day? And will AI replace a strategist, or just augment them? In this solo Q&A episode, I answer the questions I receive most frequently. I discuss the GAMBIT™ model, explain which competencies truly transfer from chess to business and which don't, and show how to make better decisions under time pressure. I also talk openly about the books that changed my life, what I'm building in 2026, and what I want to achieve by the time I'm forty. If you're interested in strategic thinking, making better decisions, and how to translate chess logic into real-world business, this episode is for you. Check out the video podcast!
