Challenge and question assumptions
One big component of building a strategic thinking mindset is to challenge how certain things are done in your organization - not with the intent to put someone down or establish your superiority, but to identify ways to do them better.
- Ask targeted questions on specific problems within your organization or your line of work.
- Learn from how others respond or think about these problems.
- Different points of view on these problems will not only expand your own thinking, but they will also give you a direction on the areas that are worth investing your time in.
