Finding strategic thinkers for your board
Someone in the audience in the ungovernance session asked how to find strategic thinkers within a membership that could eventually be good strategic thinkers on your board. Jeff De Cagna threw out a few ideas as a starting point:
- What books do they read? Their reading lists reflect their interests, and if they’re reading books on strategy, history, or chess (not an exclusive list) that could be a good indicator that strategy is an interest of theirs.
- Who do they talk to? We are drawn to those who share our interests.
- Are they gamers? Gamers use a lot of nonlinear strategic thinking.
What questions or ideas would you add to this list?
