Code 06: Practice Strategic Thinking
“Strategic thinking involves analyzing situations, considering multiple perspectives, and making informed decisions. My military training, particularly in special forces, honed my ability to think critically, adapt strategies, and anticipate outcomes.”
WHAT IT IS
Developing a strategic mindset can enable individuals to dissect complex problems into manageable components, making it easier to formulate efficient solutions. A strategic thinker considers all available options, anticipates potential outcomes, and makes informed decisions, reducing the chances of regret.

- Assess Strengths and Weaknesses. Yours and the situation's.
- Set Clear Objectives. Short- and long-term.
