Strategic thinking
Strategic thinking in principle means: Thinking based on the premise of "self determination" and "causality".
In practice means: Deciding what outcomes you want to accomplish in the long term and asking what "causes" will have to be enacted to bring them about.
Contrast that against "Short term" thinking.
In principle this means: Thinking based on the premise of "determinism" and "fate"
In practice means: Deciding how to deal with the immediate problems and "crossing bridges as you come to them"Â
