(读书笔记)5 Steps to Becoming an Effective Strategic Leader

 When leaders can't transition from technical expert to strategic leader, they often stay narrowly focused on their one area of expertise. They get in the weeds with technical details that leave others feeling lost. 


Strategic leaders, on the other hand, have a broad, forward-thinking perspective. They think long-term, identifying possibilities and opportunities the company can put into action. They help steer day-to-day decisions in the right direction.


Before making decisions, ask yourself, how will what we're doing now position us well for the future? What is the organization doing today to stay relevant five years from now?  


Start by connecting your work to the broader company strategy. "How does this align with our strategy and key priorities? How will this decision impact other departments?  


Technical experts often have a hard time letting go of the work they're passionate about. They can easily fill their days with tasks they could be delegating, often falling into the trap of micromanaging. But higher-level, strategic thinking requires practice, focus, and time.
