[Verse 1] When they say "not strategic enough" don't panic yet Three different gaps hide behind that same critique Could be your scope's too narrow, tunnel vision set Or maybe you're reactive when they want proactive speak The third one's communication, your best work stays hidden While leadership debates without your voice forbidden [Chorus] Diagnose before you fix it, three gaps to explore Scope and proactivity, communication's door S-P-C remember well, strategic gaps unveiled Listen to the context clues, let understanding sail [Verse 2] Gap one is tunnel thinking, focused on your lane They're saying bigger picture's missing from your view Solutions cause side effects, reactive is your game Read other business units, expand what you pursue Ask leadership directly what keeps them up at night Frame compliance goals within their broader sight [Chorus] Diagnose before you fix it, three gaps to explore Scope and proactivity, communication's door S-P-C remember well, strategic gaps unveiled Listen to the context clues, let understanding sail [Verse 3] Gap two means you're waiting for them to make the call No agenda of your own, they raise compliance first Scan the regulatory horizon, threats both big and small Bring interpretations before their patience bursts Proactive communication, scheduled and routine Share what's coming next, not just what's already been [Verse 4] Gap three's the trickiest, your work seems operational But you know the strategic choices that you make Your contributions vanish from each conversation While leadership discusses what's truly at stake This curriculum targets gap three specifically Making hidden value shine more brilliantly [Chorus] Diagnose before you fix it, three gaps to explore Scope and proactivity, communication's door S-P-C remember well, strategic gaps unveiled Listen to the context clues, let understanding sail [Bridge] Context gives you clues about which gap you face Specific language matters, ask questions with grace Before you can respond, know what they really mean Diagnostic framework keeps your strategy clean [Outro] Not strategic enough has multiple faces Diagnose the real gap, then fill in those spaces
