6 Habits of True Strategic Thinkers

Where do you stand with your business?

inc.com You're the boss, but you still spend too much time on the day-to-day. Here's how to become the strategic leader your company needs.

Warren Buffett has said that when he is looking at his leaders for companies, he evaluates three categories of characteristics:
-- Intelligence
-- Energy
-- Integrity

His fundamental belief is that if a person has 2 of these, the lack of the third can kill a business. Do the fast math on the negative side of the equation:

-- Low integrity, high energy and high intelligence and you have a smart, fast-moving thief
-- Low energy, high intelligence and integrity and you have a shop keeper, not an engine of growth
-- Low intelligence, high energy and integrity and you have strong functionary, but not a great problem solver or visionary

We are coming to the near end of the SWOT analysis and how to use it within a business plan. Moving on we will finish with O = Opportunities and T = Threats and how to use those within a plan. First I would like to discuss Threats.
Read on in the below comments.....

20/09/2010

Where do I put the strengths I discussed in my SWOT? Strengths should be prevalent throughout your business plan. This is why you are getting into this industry. They are also points of elimination of risk in your risk assessment and show strength to your sales/business development section. Play up yo your strengths as they will also serve as a first step to capitalizing on the "Opportunities" within your SWOT!

14/09/2010

Discussing your weaknesses in a SWOT analysis can be a humbling experience but it is necessary for strategic development of your business plan. Within your plan you will take those weaknesses and address them in a risk assessment.

07/09/2010

Over the last two weeks I have talked about doing a SWOT analysis for your business. The next steps I would like to discuss are how to use that SWOT inside of a business plan or the various sections of your business model. Please stay tuned to learn how to apply these section into practical research.

01/09/2010

What new business thoughts are on your mind?

31/08/2010

Final section of the SWOT - T = Threats! At this point in your analysis you should be feeling quite comfortable with being honest with yourself about your business. now it i time to examine the real threats that are present in your industry and in your company.

23/08/2010

Back to our SWOT Analysis - Today, O = Opportunity. This is the point in which you can really assess what you are doing that your competition is not. OR even better, look at your competition and look at what they are not doing and exploit those areas for opportunities. Really think about the advantages you can take in this marketplace right now.

Last week we worked on Strengths. Now onto Weaknesses. This is hands down the hardest part of a SWOT. Sometimes we do not want to admit to our weaknesses but we cannot overcome until we face them and accept them. Be honest with yourself and about your company. If you are lacking certain education or experience write it down. If your company is lacking a competitive edge write it down most importantly be honest.

09/08/2010
