If you want to up level your work and be more strategic, don't wait for an opportunity or "get other work done first." Prioritize strategy conversation first, and the rest will follow.
Great advice. I’ve always heard “You should be working on the business, not be stuck in the business.” But it’s not very practical advice. While I like you “time for strategic work is not optional” and the idea that you have to force it.
There will always be operational work to be done. Always busy work or someone else’s to-do list. And of course always another Teams call to do work theatre.
I found this very useful, thanks for sharing it!

You do have to force it. Thank you Yue
