                  Consider a common dictionary definition

·        A plan that is intended to achieve a particular purpose OR the process of planning something or carrying out a plan in a skillful way.

     Strategic thinking can make a positive impact on any area of life. When failure isn’t an option, nothing serves a person better than strategic thinking.

      Strategic thinking helps me to become more efficient, to maximize my strength. The benefit of strategic thinking are numerous. Here are a few of the reasons you should adopt the powerful effect of strategic thinking as one of your thinking tools.

1)   Strategic thinking simplifies the complex issues

   It takes complex issues and long-term objection, which can be very difficult to address and breaks them down into manageable sizes. Anything becomes simpler when it has a plan. Strategic thinking helps you simplify the management of everyday life.

2)   Strategic thinking forces you to ask the right questions

Take a look at the following questions developed:

·        Direction: What should we do next? Why?

·        Organization: Who is responsible for what? Who is responsible for whom? Do we have the right people in the right places?

·        Cash: What is our projected income, expense, net? Can we afford it? How can we afford it?

These may not be the only question you need to ask to begin formulating a strategic plan, but they are certainly a good start.

3)   Strategic thinking prepares you for the project Ahead:

    Strategic planning is necessary precisely because we cannot forecast….strategic planning does not deal with future decision.it deals with the futurity of present decisions. The question that faces the strategic decision maker is not what his organization should do tomorrow it is what do we have to do today to be ready for uncertain tomorrow.

Strategic thinking is the bridge that links where you are to where you want to be.it gives direction and credibility today and increases your potential for success tomorrow.

4)    Strategic thinking diminishes the margin of error:

    John c Maxwell, “Anytime you shoot from the hip or go into a totally reactive mode, you increases your margin for error. It’s like a golfer stepping up to a golf ball and tilting it before lining up the shot. Misaligning a shot by just a few degrees can send the ball a hundred yards off target.

   Strategic thinking diminishes the margin of Error.it lines up your action s with your objections, just as lining up a shot in golf helps you to put the ball closer to the pin. The better aligned you are with your target, the better the odds that you will be going in the right direction.

5)    Strategic thinking gives you power with others:

    The one with the plan is the one with the power.it doesn’t matter in what kind of activity you’re involved. Employers want to follow the business leader with a good business plan. Players want to follow coach with a good skills plan. Volunteers want to join the pastor with a good ministry plan. Children want to be with the Adult who has the well-thought-out vacation plan. If you practice strategic thinking, others will listen to you and they will want to follow you. If you possess a position of leadership in an organization, strategic thinking is essentials.
