“A poor plan or strategy that is perfectly executed is still a failure; and bad execution of an effective strategy still equates to failure.”
by Innocent Mwatsikesimbe — from The Vision, chapter 34
In other words
A good result needs both a sound direction and work that follows it well. A poor plan can be carried out perfectly and still arrive at the wrong place. A wise plan can fail when its steps are neglected or badly done.
Planning comes first because it decides what the action is meant to build. Execution then gives that design a life outside the mind. Neither can repair the complete absence of the other.
Success depends on their fit as much as their separate quality. The plan must make sense in the real world, and the work must remain true to what the plan requires. What to do and how it is done meet in the final result.
