"The idea that there are "well-rounded" people, people who have only strengths and no weaknesses ... is a prescription for mediocrity if not incompetence. Strong people always have strong weaknesses. ... And no one is strong in many areas."

Peter F. Drucker Quote:
"People-decisions are time-consuming, for the simple reason that the Good Lord did not create people as "resources" for organizations. They do not come in proper size and shape for the tasks that have to be done in organization - and they cannot be machined down or re-cast for these tasks. People are always "almost fits" at best. To get the work done with people (...) therefore requires lots of time, thought and judgement."

Having the talent Strategic does not make you automatically a great strategic thinker or planner in business. Whenever you want to develop a talent into a strength, you need to add knowledge, skills and experience. I believe that in the case of developing the strength of strategic thinking in business, you actually need to acquire substantial amount of knowledge about strategies, concepts, frameworks, good and bad examples.
One of the best books that I found for that purpose is Henry Mintzbergs "Strategy Safari - A Guided Tour Through the Wilds of Strategic Management". It gives you a wonderful overview of the various different schools in strategic management.
