Everyone can learn to be more strategic and create a vision. This key skill enables you to align and mobilize your teams. I tell the story of a leader who learned to be more strategic by practicing the four Ps of strategic thinking:
- Peripheral search (scanning the environment)
- Percolating (creative reflection)
- Participative Leadership (bringing others’ ideas in)
- Persuasion (getting others on board)
Strategic thinking depends on zooming out and widening your attention and making two MindShifts:
- Task Analysis to Market Analysis
- Personal Accountability to Organizational Accountability
Leaders need to make their vision actionable using tangible objectives and milestones. Your vision also needs to be connected to your purpose. This ensures your team will understand why you care about it and why they should get behind it.
