Think Like a Strategist

Strategy sounds like something reserved for generals and chess champions, but the underlying skill — thinking two or three moves past the obvious one — is available to anyone willing to slow down before acting. Think Like a Strategist breaks that skill into usable pieces: mapping out likely outcomes before you commit, building in flexibility for the outcomes you didn't map, and making a confident call when the picture is still incomplete. The examples range from boardrooms to everyday trade-offs, but the core habit is the same everywhere — plan on purpose instead of reacting on instinct.
