As organizations reevaluate leadership attributes, the ability to think strategically has become paramount. Watkins notes that strategic thinkers transcend immediate problem-solving by considering the broader ecosystem. In his writing, he identifies six disciplines that enhance strategic skills, crucial for effective leadership. By mastering these, leaders can improve their decision-making and navigate complex challenges more effectively, positioning themselves not just as successful employees but as influential leaders.
