135: Five Elements of Strategic Thinking

Updated: Jun 13, 2023



This episode offers you structure to the idea of strategic thinking and builds on my previous episode about the Four Building Blocks of Strategy.


You’ll hear me expand on the main elements of strategic thinking, which are:

  • Creative thinking

  • Systems thinking

  • Directional thinking

  • Divergent thinking

  • Convergent thinking

If you can carve out the time to think in these ways, you’ll be doing better than most other leaders! Having time to think is a secret weapon at your fingertips. Harness it with the help of this episode and you’ll notice the difference.
