Ask HN: How do I think more strategically?

2 points by Unknown_Unknown ↗ HN
I've been told a few times throughout my career that I'm too technical and that I should think more stragetically.

Is there any books, methods that I can use to start talking/thinking more strategically?

Describe a situation in which someone said you were "too technical" and we might understand what "strategically" means for you.

I work as a cloud solution architect, with more tech focus (75%) than business (25%). But I want to move into a manager position and I've been told that I need to talk and act more strategically.

Can you explain how any decision you make will impact the bottom line? Could they provide an example.of strategic thinking?
