[Verse 1] When the feedback comes saying you're not strategic enough Don't assume you know what they mean by that stuff Three different gaps could be hiding behind Those words that can mess with your peace of mind Is it scope or proactivity or visibility's lack Let's diagnose before we plan our attack [Chorus] Scope, proactive, visibility too Three gaps that hide in the feedback you get Scope, proactive, visibility's clue Diagnose first before you fret Which gap is real, which gap to fill Listen close to find the hill you need to climb [Verse 2] Gap one is scope when you're too narrow in sight Focused on your domain but missing the light Of bigger pictures and consequences wide Reactive thinking with no organizational pride They'll say you're solving but creating new mess Your tunnel vision causes business stress [Chorus] Scope, proactive, visibility too Three gaps that hide in the feedback you get Scope, proactive, visibility's clue Diagnose first before you fret Which gap is real, which gap to fill Listen close to find the hill you need to climb [Verse 3] Gap two's proactive when you wait to be asked Never bringing agenda, always last To know the issues before they explode Leadership's always the one who loads The compliance topics onto the table While you sit quiet, willing and able [Verse 4] Gap three's visibility when your work disappears Strategic decisions lost in the gears Your best contributions never get cited In conversations where they should be highlighted You know you're strategic but nobody sees The value you bring gets lost in the breeze [Bridge] Read the context, hear the words they choose Ask direct questions, gather all the clues Before you respond, before you react Diagnose the gap to get back on track [Outro] Scope, proactive, visibility Three paths to strategic clarity Find your gap and find your way To contributions that will stay
