Strategic thinking books for beginners

[bunchofkeys]

I've been advised that i need to start thinking strategically in my work. I'm pushing to climb the career ladder and so naturally i need to start thinking of the bigger picture, rather than just what's in front of me.
This is a new concept to me, so i'm looking for a book that can help me understand this better, but it needs to be explained as if i'm 5 years old until i grasp the concepts.
Amazon keeps pushing this one, but it has very few reviews.

Could anyone recommend a book for a beginner please?

I've got McKeown's as you've posted and also Exploring Strategy from when I did my MBA in 2022.

Try reading ‘The Goal’, it’s not so much about ‘learning strategy’ as it is changing how you think, anyone can recite an academic textbook but you need to be able to ‘see’ from a strategic view, the goal focuses on taking a new approach / mindset to an existing situation (which you can extrapolate out to your own situation).

The Strategy Book by Max Mckeown too.

Equally, ‘thinking strategically’ is an underhand way of saying you’re not ready, ask them to give specific examples, walk through the situation and understand what you should do differently to support your learning.
