13. Dona Munsch, VP, Cloud Operations at NetApp
“My ‘get ‘er done’ mentality—as the go-to person, and the only one who knew how to do certain things—got in my way of moving ahead. I couldn’t step out of my own role to take on new opportunities.”

16. 4 Questions Asked by Strategic Leaders

17. 1) What’s Your Time Horizon?
To become more forward thinking, visionary, and strategic, shift your attention away from what’s required of you in the near future and focus on the longer-term.
Ask “What is my time horizon and where am I influencing? Is it for today, tomorrow, a year from now, or five years from now? Am I being very tactical in what I'm doing, focused on today and tomorrow, or am I looking toward things that will happen two years from now?"
— Dona Munsch

18. 2) What Are Your Customers’ Unmet Needs?
Write it down: Which question stands out the most to you?
Ask questions that provoke deeply reflective thinking.
What are your customers’ unmet needs?
How should your strategy address them?
How will your markets be different in the future than they are today?
What can you do to position yourself for the future?
What is the business case for your investments?
How will you measure and track performance to ensure impact?”
— Ellie Pidot

19. 3) What’s The Scope of Your Influence?
Expand your scope of influence beyond your immediate role and team.
“You don't have to be the one to do it to get it done. You can accomplish a lot through influence.” — Dona Munsch
“Are you working with a few team members who report to the same leader as you do? Or, are you influencing and working with a larger set, team to team, or with organizations that are outside of your day-to-day role?”

20. 4) What’s The Extent Of The Change You’re Driving?
Consider the degree of change that you're looking to drive.
“Tell your story of where things are going to be five years from now. Not what needs to be done today, and not what's going to break tomorrow, but a much more aspirational view.”
— Dona Munsch

21. “You can’t do that with T-Rex arms.”
