5. Strategic Thinking
Thinking that
enable you to use
critical thinking to
solve complex
problems and
plan for the
future.

7. Strategic
foresight
Strategic thinkers have the
ability to think ahead and
anticipate potential
problems. They know
having a backup plan (or
several) can help them pivot
quickly when things don’t go
as planned.

8. An
Inquisitive
mind:
•Strategic thinkers
aren’t afraid to
question or challenge
conventional thinking.
They know asking the
right question is as
important as finding
the right solution.

9. A
flexible
attitude
:
•Good strategists have the
ability to pivot when a
course of action isn’t
providing the intended
results. They’re also flexible
when it comes to
reassessing their own ideas
and assumptions as new
information comes to light

10. An
ability to
connect
the dots:
•Strategists have a knack
for identifying patterns
and making meaning out
of overarching trends.

11. An ability to
contextualize
information
•Thinking strategically
requires seeing
information through the
lens of the past, present,
and future to address
both short-term and long-
term goals.

12. 4 Tips for Developing
Strategic Thinking Skills
You don’t have to be born
with a strategic mindset to
develop effective problem-
solving, decision-making,
and brainstorming skills.

13. Ask questions
• Critically examining what
you assume to be true
and questioning
conventional wisdom can
help you challenge your
biases. Interrogating your
assumptions can also
help you think outside the
box to solve problems.

14. Take time to listen
• A skilled strategic
thinker listens before
making a move. When
working with a team,
consider everyone’s
point of view and
digest many
perspectives in order
to take a more
nuanced approach to
problem-solving.

15. Learn to prioritize
• Whether your goals are
personal or
professional, ranking
action items from most
to least important can
help you stay focused
on a course of action.

16. Reflect on what
worked and what
didn’t
• After you’ve executed
your plan, take time to
assess successes and
failures. What part of
the process worked
well that you’d like to
repeat next time? What
could be improved
upon?

17. Intuitive
Thinking
• Is basically the kind of
thinking that helps you
understand reality in the
moment, without logic or
analysis. There’s no
language involved in it,
either. It’s entirely about
signs and sensations.
Most of the time, it goes
against whatever we
might think of as
“rational”.

19. •According to science, intuitive thinking
happens in a region of our brain close to the
pineal gland. In other words, it lines up with
the middle of your forehead, between your
eyebrows. You can’t use intuitive thinking
whenever you want, though. It only shows up
in “moments of inspiration”. Plus, it really
works. It’s what some people call doctors’
“clinical eye” or being a “visionary”.

20. Emotional
intuitive
thinking
•Emotional intuitive
thinking. This has to
do with your ability to
immediately pick up on
other people’s
personality traits or
emotional states. You
can see who they are,
or how they are,
without them having to
say anything.

21. Mental
intuitive
thinking
•This is about finding
an immediate answer
to a problem, without
analyzing it. It’s very
common in people
with jobs that require
quick decisions, like
firefighters or bomb
technicians.

22. Psychic
intuitive
thinking
•This means having the
ability to choose the
best path to overcome
a personal difficulty,
without putting much
mental effort into it. It
also means being able
to pick up on social
and work-related
dynamics.

23. Spiritual
intuitive
thinking
•This has to do with
states of
“enlightenment” or
“revelations”.
They’re more of an
experience than a
fact. Buddhists talk
about this kind of
intuition more than
anyone else, which
has given it a
mystical quality.

24. Is it possible to improve your intuition?
It’s hard for a lot of us in the Western world to listen to our intuition.
We’re all blinded by rationality.
Not trusting yourself will also block your ability to think intuitively.
Let it flow more freely. One good strategy is taking note of the first thing
that comes to mind in any situation.
Afterward, you can look over your notes and see if your initial impression
was valid
