Long-term planning requires an authoritative and confident mindset, one that can approach the future with expectations and readiness. Whether creating a new business, taking leadership of an existing one, or simply entering new employment, thinking ahead can save time and stress. Think about the end, at the beginning.
It can be easy to fall into comfort and forget about the threats and dangers that can be thrown around in everyday working life, so keeping an active consciousness of what is going on around the work environment, could be the factor between failure and success.
