Why I Curated This
Most operators I know are brilliant tacticians but mediocre strategists. This video from London Business School provides a practical framework for developing strategic thinking as a daily practice. I found it particularly useful for training my leadership team to think beyond their functional silos and consider how their decisions affect the broader system.
Key Insights

Who Should Watch
Mid-career professionals and operators who want to develop strategic thinking as a skill. Especially valuable if you feel trapped in day-to-day execution and want to elevate your perspective.
