What are you doing every day to strengthen your strategic thinking or are you expecting to get strategically fit from one planning retreat a year?
Construction leaders spend their days solving problems, answering emails, making decisions, and reacting to whatever demands their attention next. But when strategic thinking never gets the same deliberate practice, leaders can become the bottleneck, teams struggle to make decisions independently, and execution slows down.
Bradley Hartmann shares a conversation between Bryce Hoffman and strategic-thinking expert Rich Horwath that challenges leaders to treat strategic thinking like physical fitness. Because strategy isn’t something you practice once a year, it’s a skill that gets stronger by putting in the reps.
In this episode, you’ll discover:
· Why developing strategic thinkers throughout your organization can improve decision, insight, and execution velocity.
· How consistent strategic-thinking practice can help your people make better decisions without constantly escalating them to senior leadership.
· Why even a small daily investment in strategic fitness can help you get out of reaction mode, challenge assumptions, and become a more effective leader.
Play this episode to discover how putting in consistent strategic-thinking reps can help you build a faster, more capable, and more strategically fit organization.
