Study Notes

Intuitive Thinking

Intuitive thinking is the kind of thinking that helps understand reality in the moment, without logic or analysis, and is entirely about signs and sensations.
It is similar to doctors' "clinical eye" or being a "visionary."

The Four Types of Intuitive Thinking

Emotional Intuitive Thinking: the ability to immediately pick up on other people's personality traits or emotional states without them having to say anything.
Mental Intuitive Thinking: finding an immediate answer to a problem without analyzing it, common in people with jobs that require quick decisions.
Psychic Intuitive Thinking: having the ability to choose the best path to overcome a personal difficulty without putting much mental effort into it, and being able to pick up on social and work-related dynamics.
Spiritual Intuitive Thinking: related to states of "enlightenment" or "revelations," and is more of an experience than a fact.

Strategic Thinking

Strategic thinking is the ability to plan for the future and prepare strategies and conjure ideas that will cope with changing environments and consider the various challenges that lie ahead.
It involves being able to envision new solutions to old problems and constantly reinvent one's point of view in a way that is unique and beneficial to the organization.

Four Key Qualities of Strategic Thinkers

Strategic thinkers are always learning and committing to constant self-improvement, and do not dismiss any potential sources of education.

Strategic thinkers are not afraid to take risks, understanding that professional excellence does not always emerge from a cookie-cutter approach.
They never forget their organizational purpose and prioritize it in their strategic thinking and planning.
