Reflection Catapults Your Strategic Plan Far Further Than You Realize
Strategic planning demands higher order thinking skills. One of these skills is reflection. By taking the time to look back and review past experiences, individuals can better project future outcomes.
Reflection is a proactive thought process. By taking the time to think and not just reacting to circumstances, individuals are not in much better control of their future behaviors. These planned future behaviors then dictate current behaviors.
Unfortunately, the quality of reflection necessary within the strategic planning process is not embraced by many people. This failure may be because of not knowing how or being conditioned not to think.
