The Importance Of Thinking Strategically, Not Transactionally.

Do you have some people on your team that are great at executing transactionally, but you want them to be more strategic?
Use this article to spur a conversation with them on what they do that is more transactional and what they can do to be more strategic. Then talk about ways you can support them in moving toward being more strategic.
Keep in mind that for your employee, becoming more strategic is scary as it has no clearly defined boundaries so it requires they use their prefrontal cortex and make some links and associations that are not always obvious.. While being transactional is easier due to clear boundaries so they can think more with their basal ganglia which is the low-level brain operating system.
So, mitigate the risk by helping them find the guideposts for making these decisions. The best ones to use are your core values.
