How to turn your company into a holiday retreat for strategy tourists

Strategy tourist trive in certain environments. They love it when:

  1. You launch a new strategy exercise every six months.
  2. You stimulate power play.
  3. You don’t punish low performers.
  4. Your promotion policy is based on ‘who knows who’.
  5. You put everyone in a silo and clearly communicate that everyone outside the silo is considered less valuable and not worth talking to.
