The greatest strategists in history weren’t "strategists" in the traditional sense. So who were they? As Alex M H Smith lays out in this post... They were ordinary individuals with huge responsibilities, who instinctively did highly strategic things—without relying on frameworks, templates, or theoretical models. Which begs the question... How? What gave them the ability to think and act so strategically, without any formal training? One theory? It comes down to a unique set of naturally strategic traits that set them apart. Are there any traits you would add to this? ♻ Repost to help your network.

Strategic brilliance is less about knowing and more about seeing - seeing patterns, possibilities, and paths that others miss.

Great point! The ability to think and act strategically often comes from experience, intuition, and adaptability. I’d add curiosity—great strategists are constantly asking questions and seeking new perspectives. They don't just follow the status quo—they challenge it. What traits do you think are essential for someone to develop strategic thinking?

Big readers of fiction. It brings in the human, the unexpected, the random and the unconscious. All big parts of true strategic thinking.

Always gotta remember, strategy isn’t a “job”. It’s a way of doing a job, that 10x’s the performance for the same amount of effort.
