I’ve been thinking about how a little chaos can be the best tool in a strategist’s arsenal—want to hear a plan that turns a mess into a masterpiece?

First, let the panic do its job—watch the others get lost in the details. Then, in a calm voice, point out the single lever that, if pulled, shifts the entire board. Finally, set up a chain reaction that makes the chaos look like a perfectly choreographed dance. It’s all about controlling the narrative and letting the mess do the heavy lifting while you steer the outcome.
