Executing strategy is like playing golf. One day, you can have a great game and the next day, just when you think you are mastering the sport - you can have a shocking round. What makes golf the ultimate experience is that no two rounds of golf are ever the same. Natural elements change; what happens between your ears changes; where your ball lands on the fairways or on the greens is never the same and your approach to the flag is never the same. But you do the best that you can with the skills and tools (your clubs, etc) that you have on the day. And so it is with strategy execution. Nothing is ever the same from one day to the next let alone from one year to the next. And so you make do with the skill sets and tools that you have.
Before you hit a shot in golf, you have to be aware of every element that might impact how you hit the ball and where it might land. It is the same with strategy execution. Know the course you are playing; which way the wind is blowing; which elements will come into play, what clubs are in your bag and make sure you get yourself a great caddie.
Yours in execution.
