Do People See You as a Strategic Thinker?

And more importantly, do your boss and senior leaders see you that way? Here are some ways to show key people in your organization that you’re leadership material.

First, communicate your perspective. When talking to your manager and other leaders, demonstrate that you’re forward looking and well informed. For example, instead of focusing on short-term specifics, look for opportunities to offer observations about the big picture. Using language such as “Considering our organization’s three-year vision…” or “Reflecting on the trajectory of innovation in our industry…” shows a strategic vision.

Elevate your perspective

Instead of focusing on specifics, describe the broader landscape and articulate the bigger-picture narrative. By using language such as “Considering our organization’s three-year vision…” or “Reflecting on the trajectory of innovation in our industry…” you shape the context in which the tactical details can then be explored. This also helps to align stakeholders, ensuring everyone is on the same page.

Be forward-looking

Strategic thinkers see emerging challenges and opportunities. You can demonstrate that you are thinking about the future by using statements like “Projecting our growth, by 2028…” or “In light of our competitors’ plans, should we be…” By communicating a forward-looking stance, you demonstrate your capacity to help the organization develop long-term strategy.
