Strategic Thinking

Always start with the end in mind. A team leader needs to decide the goal before starting a project. That’s part of strategic planning. We’ll walk you through the steps to break down your plan into manageable steps with an assessment process factored in, so you know if you’re on the right track.

Strategic Thinking

Presented by Delroy Waugh

Strategic thinkers are able to see the winding path they’ll have to take to reach the end goal. They’re able to analyze the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats along the way so they can stay focused on that end goal. Learn to think strategically instead of instinctively when making decisions.
