Harvard Business Review article: How to Become a Better Strategic Thinker

Article Title: Enhancing Strategic Thinking Skills for Career Development

Recently, I had the privilege of having my article featured in the prestigious Harvard Business Review titled: “How to Become a Better Strategic Thinker.” The focus of the article revolves around the 3A Strategic Framework, emphasizing the importance of Acumen (thinking), Allocation (planning), and Action (acting). Within the piece, I delve into the essential competencies required to excel in each of these areas. For those interested in assessing their strategic thinking abilities, I encourage you to take the Strategic Quotient (SQ) Assessment, which has already been completed by nearly 3,000 leaders.

One of the key issues addressed in the article is the prevalent misconception of individuals being categorized as ‘tactical, not strategic’, and how this mislabeling can impede their professional growth. It stresses the necessity of a clear behavioral roadmap to aid individuals in transitioning from a tactical mindset to a strategic one.
