The Importance of Long-Term Thinking in a Short-Term World
Business (and careers) seem to have been relegated to short-term thinking. A three-month view for profits is the norm, so decisions are made to support the next bottom line. What happened to valuable long-term thinking? Is that even done any more? Yes, it is. And make note – it is usually done by the most successful leaders and businesses. Long-term thinkers know the result they are looking for, so they act more quickly when decisions must be made. They are clear on their ambition to go the distance, and they are passionate about the vision to get there. They clarify and share the passion and values with team members to rally support. They know what will separate their business, and they remain relevant with the times. Why are you doing what you are doing, and what about that will leave the world a better place? Consider that as you listen to this podcast.
