How to Be a Good Strategist

Be curious. There’s so much to learn and so little time.

Be kind. It’s different than being nice, with better results.

Have an opinion. But don’t be precious about it.

Make stuff. It doesn’t have to be pretty.

Fill a hole. Complement what others are doing, rather than doing more of the same.

Be proactive. You’ll figure out what’s helpful over time.

Ask questions. But not all at the same time, that can be annoying.

Start “bad.” And then, edit and refine.

Move it forward. Always leave the project better than when you started.
