Ep 196 - How to Confidently Make That Critical Shift to Strategic Leader, with guest Chris Lamb
Have you been told you 'need to be more strategic' but don't really know what that means, or how to deliver it?
My guest today is Chris Lamb, an accomplished Chief People Officer and board director. He has worked at the most senior levels in the public and private sectors in Asia Pacific, European and global roles.
In this episode, Chris explains:
- How to make the shift from operational deliverer to strategic leader
- What stops people from becoming more strategic
- The critical value of getting a breadth of experiences in your career
- Overcoming any doubts you might have about stepping up and becoming more strategic
- And how developing your strategic acumen can start boosting the opportunities you enjoy professionally
Something Chris said:
"[When you start thinking more strategically...] Firstly, you get out of the mindset of just what's happening in your team and area. You start to think instead about how your team impacts the whole organisation. Secondly, you start to think about the challenges other parts of the business are experiencing, irrespective of whether or not you have any direct contact or influence over them." (Chris Lamb, guest - Her Ambitious Career Podcast)
