About this episode

Lee Scott explains the concept of being more strategic through a five-level model of strategic thinking.

"You need to be more strategic." It shows up on performance reviews constantly. And almost nobody explains what it actually means. In this quick hit episode, Lee Scott breaks it down with a practical five level model that maps exactly where someone is on the strategic thinking spectrum and what it takes to move them forward. From the Hapless Victim defined by their conditions, to the Strategic Operator who is informed by them. Each level carries a distinct mindset, blind spot, and coaching approach. Whether you are developing someone else or trying to unravel the formula for yourself, this episode is for you.
