Good Leaders Blaze Their Own Path

Roadmaps are great for getting from Point A to Point B, but building a business isn’t a predictable journey.

Key takeaways from this article are:

• The Lewis and Clark expedition serves as an example of embracing the unknown, where their preparedness and adaptability led to monumental discoveries beyond their initial mission.
• Business leaders should approach the unknown with care and curiosity, without being constrained by rigid roadmaps that can limit innovation and response to change.
• Entrepreneurial success demands a balance of deep preparation and the flexibility to pivot when unexpected opportunities or challenges arise, much like the historic expedition.

As the author says, "If your goal is to chart new territory and build something truly useful, preparation matters – but so do curiosity and adaptability. Equip yourself for the journey, then let go of the roadmap. The most valuable opportunities will reveal themselves along the way."
