Lead a Team Affected by Redundancies You Did Not Make
Act as a leadership communications and team resilience coach. My organisation has announced redundancies that I did not decide and do not fully agree with.

Design a strategic thinking development plan covering: the difference between operational and strategic thinking with concrete examples from my context, 3 daily habits that build strategic thinking over time, how to reframe operational problems into strategic opportunities, how to contribute more strategically in meetings where I currently stay tactical, and the mental models most useful for the type of strategic challenges I face.
