The Map Versus the Terrain
Fournet, Bill
A practical framework for leading through disruption with clarity and confidence
Traditional strategic plans often collapse when confronted by AI disruption, market shifts, and geopolitical upheaval. In The Map Versus the Terrain: A Leader's Field Guide to Navigating Uncertainty, Bill Fournet, founder and CEO of The Persimmon Group and executive coach to over 30 C-suite leaders, draws on decades of real-world consulting experience to deliver a pragmatic approach to leading through the unknown.
Rather than relying on outdated military models or academic theory, Fournet provides a framework built from guiding Fortune 5000 companies, financial institutions, and major public-sector agencies through significant change. The book tackles the emotional toll of disruption, including burnout and decision fatigue, while equipping leaders with tools to build resilient teams and turn uncertainty into competitive advantage.
