Strategic thinking plays an important role in the manager’s competency system. This term refers to the ability to evaluate and interpret information and make decisions that will be useful in the long term.
The manager takes into account all possible factors and, based on them, creates his own work system. He is not afraid of mistakes, admits shortcomings and makes changes to become better. He looks at what is happening from different points of view and looks for new non-standard ways to solve emerging problems.
