PLINK...
Plinking is the intentional, intuitive first move in leadership. Instead of analyzing or formal planning, leaders begin by tuning in to their gut instincts and inner signals—what feels possible or demands attention. This is not impulsive action; it’s sensing, exploring, and testing new directions or opportunities as they first appear.
-
Plinking is the initial nudge or spark, rooted in intuition and core body wisdom.
-
The goal: recognize and trust creative impulses before judgment or analysis blocks them.
THINK...
After the plink comes reflective thinking. Here, the leader moves from intuition (gut) to the heart, asking, “What does this mean? Where does it lead?” This step expands perspective, brings in higher wisdom, and lets values and purpose filter the impulse.
-
Think phase brings in imagination, vision, and meaning—still open and generative, not yet tactical.
-
The heart shapes direction, connecting the initial impulse to a deeper “why.”
PLAN...
Finally, after sensing (plinking) and meaning-making (thinking), leaders plan. In this phase, insights and intuitions are refined and translated into structured strategies, timelines, and actions.
-
The mind focuses these ideas into specific, actionable steps.
-
Planning does not ignore intuition but channels it into effective execution.
Key Distinction
Plinking is not improvisation or random guessing. Rather, it is a disciplined openness to gut feelings and creative possibility—a critical leadership skill in uncertain or rapidly changing environments where data may be incomplete and linear reasoning insufficient.

This process leverages whole-person intuition to break through fear, unlock creativity, and foster resilient, adaptive leadership.
This model reframes strategic action as starting with deep listening to your own intuition, not rigid analysis. It’s highly suited for complex, ambiguous contexts (BANI/VUCA), where creative breakthroughs are often found outside straightforward logical steps.
