> Having a team that communicates effectively and and is agile (in the normal sense of the word) and executes effectively is more important than strategy.

Hard disagree:

Those things are important, but I’ve seen teams with those qualities spin or fail to produce impact because they don’t have a strategy.

You need an objective and you need a plan to get there — “objectives and key results”.

Communication and agility allow for tactical changes in completing that strategy, which are important, but having no strategy will go nowhere.
