Demonstrating strategic thinking, on the other hand, requires that you are simultaneously a marketer, a salesperson, and a change agent.That’s why high-potential and leadership development programs often include job rotations, cross-functional projects, and face time with senior leadership - these all accelerate the development of strategic thinking. Developing great strategic thinking skills requires you to gain exposure to strategic roles, synthesize broad information, participate in a culture of curiosity, and gather experiences that allow you to identify patterns and connect the dots in novel ways.When I’m helping my coaching clients learn to think more strategically, I emphasize that developing and demonstrating these skills are very different challenges. It assures them that you aren’t making decisions in a vacuum but are considering how other departments might be affected or how the outside world will respond. Showing strategic thinking skills tells your bosses that you’re able to think for yourself and make decisions that position the organization for the future. We all know that developing strategic thinking skills is important, but many don’t realize how critical it is to your career advancement to show these skills to your boss and other senior leaders.
