    Looking around corners: One ofrepparttar most celebrated basketball players of all-time was cut fromrepparttar 150686 varsity basketball team when he was just a sophomore. In his book, Can’t Accept Not Trying, Michael Jordan, recounts instead of giving up basketball he set achievable goals, working on one after another until he dominatedrepparttar 150687 game. He strategically focused on and worked towards sites “Ahead ofrepparttar 150688 Curve” to become one ofrepparttar 150689 best basketball players of all time.

    Plan ahead: When Thomas Edison set about reinventingrepparttar 150690 incandescent electric light bulb, he proposed to connect his lights in a parallel circuit so thatrepparttar 150691 failure of one light bulb would not causerepparttar 150692 whole circuit to fail. Eminent scientists predict that such a circuit would never be feasible. And while at times it seemed thatrepparttar 150693 bulb might never materialize, Edison continued his work on his reverse action generator andrepparttar 150694 development of electrical wires, still in use today. His planning, work and tenacity placedrepparttar 150695 first permanent, working commercial central power system in lower Manhattan in September 1882. His sight was always “Ahead ofrepparttar 150696 Curve” and onrepparttar 150697 central power system that would lightrepparttar 150698 world.

    These are just three ofrepparttar 150699 strategic processes described in Dr. Steven J. Stowell and Stephanie Mead’s new book Ahead ofrepparttar 150700 Curve, A Guide to Applied Strategic Thinking and their workshop, Applied Strategic Thinking.
