The strategic thinking & leadership programs for the Middle East focus on strategic management that enables participants to develop skills and strategies for overall success.

6 Habits of Successful Strategic Thinkers

Strategic leaders diagnose patterns and focus by looking out, looking around, and looking in the mirror. Here are six habits that participants of our programs can learn:

Align – Understanding what drives other people, assessing risk tolerance and following through to build support, bringing forth tough issues even when comfortable, and fostering a culture of open dialogue to build trust and engage various stakeholders

Anticipate – Looking out for ambiguities and taking action, being aware of game-changing occurrences within the industry, searching beyond current business boundaries, and building wider networks for greater reach

Critical Thinking – Not accepting safer options, discovering bias (if any) in decision-making, challenging mindsets and beliefs of self and others, and reframing questions to reach the root causes of any issues

Decide – Avoiding “analysis paralysis” by carefully framing the decision to reach the crux of the matter, taking a stand even if some information is missing or unavailable amidst diverse viewpoints, and balancing rigor, speed, agility, and quality while letting go of perfection when needed

Interpret – Synthesizing information from multiple sources before forming any point of view, questioning prevailing assumptions and testing with different hypotheses, seeking patterns from different information sources, and encouraging others to follow the same

Learn – Seeking honest feedback by encouraging and exemplifying honesty, undertaking rigorous debriefs to extract learnings, making necessary changes when required, and celebrating not only success but also well-intentioned failures providing insight
