[Verse 1] When feedback comes your way saying you're not strategic enough Don't take it personal, it's time to get tough Write down the situation, every detail you recall What happened in that moment when you hit the wall The context and the setting, who was in the room This honest reflection helps dispel the gloom [Chorus] Five steps to strategic, make your impact shine Diagnose the feedback, draw that clear line Thirty days of action, find your strategic guide Make invisible visible, don't let your value hide Five steps to strategic, now's your time to rise [Verse 2] Take out that framework from section seven two Which gaps are they pointing to, what's the real issue Is it thinking too narrow, missing the big view Or failing to connect dots like strategic people do Gather up your evidence, what supports your case Understanding the real gap puts you in the right place [Chorus] Five steps to strategic, make your impact shine Diagnose the feedback, draw that clear line Thirty days of action, find your strategic guide Make invisible visible, don't let your value hide Five steps to strategic, now's your time to rise [Bridge] One powerful move in the next thirty days Be specific and clear about changing your ways What exactly you'll do and when you will start How you'll measure success, that's the strategic art [Verse 3] Find someone respected for their strategic mind Watch how they operate, see what you can find What earns them that perception, what's their special way What could you adopt starting today Their communication style or how they frame each choice Learn from their example, amplify your voice [Chorus] Five steps to strategic, make your impact shine Diagnose the feedback, draw that clear line Thirty days of action, find your strategic guide Make invisible visible, don't let your value hide Five steps to strategic, now's your time to rise [Outro] Complete this sentence with honesty and care The strategic work you do that's invisible out there What would it take to make that work visible and known Strategic contribution seeds you've already sown
