Critical Thinking & Strategic Planning

Take Your Leaders to the Next Level

 

As managers progress in their roles, a key skill that will take them to the leadership level is the skill of critical thinking and strategic planning.  This skill takes them from executing to thinking and planning.  Without this skill, managers often get 'stuck' in the management role creating a leadership gap in organizations.  Critical thinking and strategic planning takes the manager from task execution to problem identification, risk analysis, optionality consideration, near, mid and long term consequences, and future solution planning.  The skill focus teaches the manager to think proactively into the future and go from tactical doing to proactive planning.
