Strategic thinkers are wise and patient people who live for the long game. They think many steps ahead. As with artists, they put together their plans like mosaics, with each little piece neatly fitting in with the next one and with only the artist having a vision of what the final creation might look like. Tacticians, on the other hand, are mercurial fellows; masters of the now, they are often only as good as their instincts, and they possess the uncanny ability to abandon their plan midway through and adopt a better one if the situation on the ground so dictates.
