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 recommended 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, by 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.
