"You need to be more strategic".

If you've ever received this feedback, you know that it feels empty. What does that actually mean and how do you action this?

Here's the truth: You don’t get handed strategic work. You earn it by showing you’re ready and asking directly. But most people wait, or hope someone notices they’re ready.
​
That’s how you stay stuck.

Want to be seen as strategic? Start solving bigger problems.

1. Own what you’ve done: Start with credibility. Don’t just say you’re ready. Prove it.

“I’ve delivered consistently in my current scope and have streamlined X, improved Y, and led Z over the last [timeframe]...”

2. Align with the business: Show you're not chasing status. You’re driving impact.

“I’ve noticed a few areas where we could accelerate [goal] or remove friction in [process] and I’d love to lean in more strategically where it’s most needed.”

3. Ask with clarity: Don’t leave it vague. Ask for a next-level responsibility that makes it easy to say yes.

“What would it look like to get involved in shaping [upcoming initiative / cross-functional project] this quarter?” or “Is there a space where I could take on more strategic input to support where the team’s headed?”

Pro tip: Use 1:1s and quarterly check-ins to plant this flag. Timing matters. Remember, you want their headspace, not their inbox.

Strategic work doesn’t go to the most deserving. It goes to the most visible and vocal about adding value.
