Are you able to see light at the end of a tunnel?
It’s not easy to be often against others and keep mind. Another problem is to be creative and future oriented. Who actually can be creative 8 hours a day, five or seven days a week? Typically strategic people aren’t scared about changes even in a situation you don’t see so clearly future. That helps to become future oriented, seeing light at the end of the tunnel.
A good CEO has a vision, but his/her vision is implemented through strategies based on careful analysis. Future isn’t always clear, there must be several competing scenarios. Strategy managers are able to see signals, even the weakest ones. There are tools to use, but not so easy to find the best one always. Different kind of environmental analysis framework and studies will help.
