[Verse 1] Crisis strikes without rehearsal, chaos writes its own script While others freeze in boardrooms, smart teams pivot quick Move faster than disaster, beat the breakdown's rhythm Decentralize decisions, trust your people's wisdom [Chorus] Sixty percent is good enough, don't wait for crystal facts Course-correct and pivot hard when evidence reacts Plan to scrap your blueprint when black swans attack Keep your options breathing room, never paint yourself in black [Verse 2] Military minds discovered what emergency responders know Perfect intel's phantom luxury when catastrophes unfold Empower every captain to navigate their sector Within your central framework, make each leader a protector [Chorus] Sixty percent is good enough, don't wait for crystal facts Course-correct and pivot hard when evidence reacts Plan to scrap your blueprint when black swans attack Keep your options breathing room, never paint yourself in black [Bridge] Build checkpoints in your strategy, interrogate your wins Ask what proof would show you're wrong before the avalanche begins Preserve reversibility, dodge the permanent mistake Flexibility's your lifeline when foundations start to shake [Verse 3] No battle plan survives the enemy's first punch Black swans demolish diagrams, devour your best hunch So question your responses with systematic doubt What evidence screams failure? Plan your fallback route [Final Chorus] Sixty percent is good enough, don't wait for crystal facts Course-correct and pivot hard when evidence reacts Plan to scrap your blueprint when black swans attack Keep your options breathing room, adaptability's your track [Outro] When certainty's a fairy tale and chaos calls the shots Adaptive management saves you from catastrophic plots
