Recommendation

Short-term thinking helps you deal with immediate crises. To achieve long-term strategic goals, however, you’ll need to carve out time from your hectic schedule and break free from perpetual crisis management. Only then can you create breathing room to craft long-term strategic change. In this Talks at Google video, best-selling author of The Long Game, Dorie Clark, outlines six practices to help you become a long-range, strategic thinker to advance your business, career and personal life.

Take-Aways

  • Short-term thinking is valuable in a crisis, but long-term thinking is necessary for strategic goal setting.
  • To cultivate long-term thinking, create some “white space” in your days – and know when to keep your head down to work and when to look up to seek new opportunities.
  • Be encouraged by small signs of progress and avoid getting bogged down in the tyranny of “urgent” tasks.
