Whatever you are, quit being so fcuking haughty.

I don't consider myself a strategist even though I like strategy games. I can make something out of nothing… and I do like mixing and matching disciplines. You can learn a lot by mixing biology with history, etc.

But, my greatest strength is my ability to write. It is my way of understand what I am thinking.

So I agree. There are very few strategists in the world. We only need a few.

I do my Account Manager job during the day and devlop strategies for the company at night. This takes me about 100 hours of work a week.

I decided to do it this way because the Account Manager (AM) is the heart and soul of the company. AM's are the people who service the customers who buy our product.

To be a true strategist, I must know exactly how the job should be done to develop the most optimized position and tools with the best results. Manuels, Job Duties, Software Programs, Hardware, CRM Apps, Company Branding Image, Etc… must be communicated clearly, fastly, and organized for the experience to be profitable for the company and customer ascentric and satifying to the customer and AM.
The AM must be rewarded by incentive to perform at the top level expected by the Strategist.

From there, then you have to determine on how to manage multiple account managers. That takes stratigies and organization……the whole process starts over and over again.

Then, if your a growth strategist, you have to look at the companeis financials, marketing, sales, manufacturing, image, branding, etc…and make all these things work together.

I see so many things that need to be done, 100 hours a week is not near enough. I have thousands upon thousands of hours worth of stuff to do and if I had a little more money to work with, I would be able to perform my job faster which would mean faster growth.

The key to make this work is have the proper incentives in place, clear comunication, and set standards.
