“We can’t solve problems with the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.” -Albert Einstein
The ability to think strategically is an important leadership skill that allows managers to make decisions that align with the overall strategy of their companies. The beneficial results of strategic thinking include: decision-making that aligns with other elements of the organization, team member commitment and motivation, enhanced business performance, added value to customers, avoidance of unnecessary emergencies, better use and deployment of resources, and reduced stress.
