Manager-Leader Strategic Thinking

Seven fundamentals of strategic thinking exist. While this list is not exhaustive nor timeless – today they are important!

1) Appreciate the game you're playing – when you manage you manage, when you lead you lead; when you strategically think, you strategically think!

As you go about your day you are involved in various games. There is the marathon and the high jump, the long jump and 110 meter hurdles. There is the shot put and 100 crawl, a game of chess and round and round the Monopoly board.

The key – know the game you are playing and will play. Adopt a preparation approach and prevention mindset all while you text instructions. In other words = Stay Found, Doing Something to stay found!

2) Gather insight into your staffs' unmet values – connect with each person’s hierarchy of values

You and people who work with you have a unique set of values guiding decision making about work and life. The more you know your own, the more likely you'll personally achieve your goals.

The more you know the hierarchy of values of each primary person with whom you connect, the more likely you'll collectively accomplish your goals.
