I’m moving from implementation consulting - where details are super important - to a strategy role, working with C suite executives. Got the feedback that I need to think and work less detailed and way more high level/abstract. Any book recommendations to train this skill or get insights how to best think on an abstract level?

I am reading the following -

- Charisma Myth (good read)
- The McKinsey Way (so-so. Feel like it’s a more common sense stuff and general stories)
- Fit for Growth (good read)
- 48 Laws of Power (starting to read and good so far)
- Manipulation: The Ultimate Guide to Influence People with Persuasion (good but kinda messed up)
- Never Eat Alone (good principles but also kinda common sense stuff but still good)
