Learning Bites – Strategic Thinking
Strategic thinking is no longer a once-a-year task performed as part of the annual strategic planning process. More than ever, today’s leaders require the ability to execute tactically, as well as work and think strategically. At all levels, strategic thinking has become necessary for both short – and long-term success.
The key lies not just in individual skills, but also in the ability to engage others in the ongoing strategic process.
