As we have done on numerous occasions, today we are going to seek some outside perspective on our strategies. I suggest enlisting the help of a trusted friend or colleague from outside your team or organization, this will allow you the benefit of an objective perspective.
Set up some time with this person, share one of your big strategies and ask for their candid feedback and insight on what you have planned. Ask how they might approach it differently.
Prepare for your meeting as you would prepare for a meeting with a mentor. Take some time to develop questions that will help you truly see your strategy in a new light.
When you meet, be sure to ask for ideas on how you can better leverage your assets, as well. Make sure to take good notes, and follow up with this person — let them know what you did with their feedback and show your appreciation for their taking the time to spend with you.
Good luck!
