If work is a battle (a campaign), then: 1. What is the difference between a strategist and a tactician? 2. Which type do you think your company needs more of? 3. What kind of strategists and tacticians do you like?
Strategy and tactics represent the relationship between the overall and the specific.
1. Strategists direct the overall situation, while tacticians determine the methods to be used for specific tasks. 2. Strategist 3. Down-to-earth
Strategists need to have vision, while tacticians need only a bit of cleverness and small tricks. China emphasizes quick results, which makes it difficult for companies to make decisions, but they don’t ignore this factor either. In terms of dealing with environmental pollutants such as wastewater and waste gas, some people have described our company’s approach as treating symptoms rather than addressing the root causes; for example, adopting a new process for treating waste gas can result in the generation of new types of waste gas or wastewater that are difficult to handle.
**Most companies do not employ strategists
Strategists are like scientists who propose theories, while tacticians are the engineers responsible for putting those theories into practice
For businesses, strategic processes and operational processes are both very important. In my view, Jack Welch of General Electric should be a model strategist. A tactician? Let’s take a look at what other friends think.
We only need warriors. Run as far away as possible from all those kinds of homes that are not down-to-earth.
Regarding work, the best description of strategy that I’ve ever seen is that strategy is the industry, while tactics are the profession. For an individual to achieve growth, they need strategies and a suitable industry, as well as tactics and their own efforts. For most companies, it is sufficient for only a few people to understand the strategy; what is more needed is the execution of tactics. In an industry as complex as the chemical sector, strategies are often paired with executable systems. At the strategic level, an outlook that goes beyond the ordinary is required, while at the tactical level, perfect execution skills are necessary
In China’s chemical industry, most companies are small-scale enterprises; in other words, they act as contractors for various projects. There is no strategic or tactical vision. Many companies die without even knowing how they died. Just as the original poster said, there is a lack of strategic vision as well as tactical vision. Of course, if you go and talk to the boss about these things, he will think you’re being unrealistic. What he needs is to know how much you can help him improve technology and earn more money, or what kind of technologies or products you can provide for him so that he can make more profits.
Tactical failures are merely minor injuries, while strategic failures can be fatal to a company. . :lol
