I don’t often come across blogs or articles regarding strategy. Here is a blog post that discusses the finer points of being a strategist from Brazen Careerist.
Some of the quotes I like to illustrate the “role” of a strategist:
“Strategy requires thinking conceptually and creating something from nothing.”
“Strategists usually favor thinking about the future instead of the present; strategists I admire are bored by what is and focus on what could be.”
“It is a misconception that the strategists do all the important work and everyone else does grunt work.”
