Team Based Strategic Thinking

Team Based Strategic Thinking (TBST) is the strategic leadership philosophy that focuses on harnessing your peoples ability to make collaborative decisions in the moment [aligned to your business model] to take advantage of market opportunities or responds to competitor action. You believe this is your competitive advantage. TBST allows individuals to ask more insightful questions, make better decisions and solve problems collaboratively in dynamic and complex situations. An organisation that adopts a TBST philosophy: • Asks good business orientated questions to explorer perspectives about the viability of their ideas and the ideas of others • Thinks systemically about change and seek to establish a shared vision • Is mindful of the impact of their decisions and actions on other parts of the business • Draws connections from seemingly disparate sources of information • Is equipped to unlearn their biases and relearn quickly as they encounter new and changing situations • Keeps focused by maintaining a big-picture mindset which avoids jumping from one problem to another. • Pays attention to patterns and behaviors that help them form a framework for understanding problems • Is willing to suspend their judgment long enough to hear other perspectives • Doesn’t see failure as something to avoid but something to learn from • Doesn’t fear making decisions so avoid procrastination • Is able to surface, collaboratively, their own limiting beliefs and those of the team This allows their people to: • Constructively challenge the status quo to find a “better way”. • Avoid “silo mentality” thinking • Act like owners
