Tactical versus Strategic

By Abe Newmeyer, March 8, 2022

Progress & Getting BetterGratitude & Perspective

Often used interchangeably, they’re not the same. Tactics relate to actions but strategy relates to long-term identification or overall aims or objectives. I’m more tactical in my thought process, that’s proving to be a two edged sword. During my conversation for Fred last night, he identified my ability to develop tactical implementations with ease. But that wasn’t all.

Fred also identified my inability to develop appropriate strategies. We agreed that’s an area for improvement and came up with some exercises to work those muscles. There’s more to be done. Unfortunately for me, I’ve got to keep improving.

I’m a lifelong learner. I believe there’s always a way to get better. I believe there’s something I can do a little better. I believe I’m imperfect, so I can ALWAYS get better. It’s part of the journey.

Today, Wednesday, March 8, 2022, I am grateful that:

Fred lent some insight to an area I didn’t know I was deficient in. That’s the beauty of experience and another’s perspective.

Not only did Fred spot the problem, but he came up with possible solutions. It’s one thing to identify a problem area, but quite something else to suggest a fix.

D.C. and I got a chance to speak briefly. It was good to leverage his vigor and experience as well. I’m so grateful for the team of experts I have within my sphere.

Can you leverage your relationships to improve?

How will you do that?

What areas need improvement?

Who will help you and how?

How will you help them in return?

Be Great. Be Grateful!!!
