12 Thinking Tools and 6 Strategic Skills

This is an encore recommendation, originally posted in January, 2013.

I am excited to share with you two new tools to assist us in thinking and planning strategically.

 

Paid to Think

There is a new book, which has earned a place among our recommendedPaid To Think Book resources for strategic thinking—David Goldsmith’s Paid to Think: A Leader’s Toolkit for Redefining Your Future. Goldsmith offers twelve thinking tools, to help leaders solve challenges and create opportunities. They are organized into four
categories—strategizing, learning, performing, and forecasting. The first tool under strategizing is developing plans—plans that clarify desired outcomes and guide others to achieve them. The author divides these into three parts: creating strategy that determines the direction of your entire organization, tactics or projects that enable you to execute the strategy, and the priority management system that keeps you focused and on track daily.

Strategic Leadership: The Essential Skills

There is an article in the January-February 2013 Issue of Harvard Business Review, HBR coverby Paul J.H. Schoemaker, Steve Krupp, and Samantha Howland. The authors describe six skills that enable leaders to think strategically and navigate uncertainty effectively. Adaptive leaders combine the abilities to anticipate, challenge, interpret, decide, align, and learn. The authors provide a self-assessment to help you identify which skills need attention. They go on to offer advice for improving each ability. Check out the article here.

Are You Trapped in the Gap?

Here in the 21st Century, we are rarely stopped by a lack of knowledge. We know that goal setting is critical to progress toward our dreams. If there is something we don’t know about how to achieve our goal, it is easier than ever to find the answer.

As we approach the end of the first quarter of 2015, have you kept your New Year’s resolutions? Statistics are not in your favor. We know what to do, but often fall victim to the gap between knowing and doing.

This would be a good time to close that gap—regain clarity of purpose, refocus on priorities, and take decisive action in the direction of our desired future. There are two “lenses” that can help us refocus our actions. I first wrote about them New Year’s week of 2013. Here for an encore, are three themes and one word.

One Word

Do you want even simpler? Dan Britton (Fellowship of Christian Athletes), Jimmy Page (also of FCA), and Jon Gordon (author of The Energy Bus and The Seed) have collaborated on a new book, One Word… that will change your life. In it, they describe a process of preparing your heart and receiving from God a single word. The operative question is “What do you want to do in me and through me?” Your one word becomes your driving force for the year, bringing you clarity, focus, power, and passion.
