The Strategic Thinker

TJ,

Very well said and some great examples. I think that what we learn working through challenging times are some of our greatest learning moments in strategic leadership. I would add however that there can be a sense of complacency when all is going well that many times gradually erodes optimal institutional effectiveness. Being disciplined when times are good and taking time for strategic thinking to step back to see what lies ahead and what is happening in the macro-environment is paramount to addressing potential downturns proactively versus reactively. I think one of the challenges in all organizations is that change is occuring more rapidly then ever before which requires more time for strategic thinking then traditional strategic planning cycles may have required.
