How to Think Strategically Like a CEO

If you want to have greater influence at work, doing a great job on your current responsibilities isn’t enough. Nor is it enough to simply take on more work. If you care about getting promoted, you need a skill that great leaders have:  Thinking strategically.

Rarely do managers teach their people the vital skill of strategic thinking. Yet applying these skills allows you to see and guide the future direction of your group, division, or organization. Moving into a bigger leadership role demands that you have a big picture view of what’s happening in your organization, and how factors like competition, political developments, technological advancements, and social trends impact what lies ahead. Whatever operational or tactical move you’re making, understanding it in a strategic context will help you, immediately, to ask more thoughtful questions, make more valuable contributions, and increase your chances of being promoted. 

In this webinar, you will learn from a former strategy consultant turned executive & leadership coach:

• The shift that’s needed to go from operational/tactical thinking to strategic thinking 
• The key business drivers you need to consider when developing strategy
• How to take what you already know and create a strategic view
• How to shift from seeing just the immediate road ahead to viewing what’s on the horizon for your organization 
• Key questions to ask to develop strategy
