Leadership Competency #4

Planning Basics - 5/18

NOTE: This module draws from my earlier work under Black Market Leadership. The ideas here predate Chaos Studies in Leadership and form the foundation that made this work possible.

This module introduces a simple, universal planning template adapted from the Army’s five-paragraph order. It provides a clear structure for organizing thinking, aligning people, and defining objectives, timeframes, and responsibilities.

The template is not advanced or rigid—it scales from simple to complex and can be used mentally or on paper. Its value lies in clarity, speed, and alignment, making it effective across military, business, and organizational settings.
