The thing is, even the most strategic thinker can come across as less-than-strategic if they’re not aware.

  • The key people who need to see you as strategic to get ahead in your career
  • The 2 key areas to focus on to come across as strategic
  • 3 ways to shift perceptions of how strategic you are
