So I started thinking about how my new job may be a step up with more strategic thinking involved. I ran into the terms Strategic AND Tactical, being a non military, non manager, I wasn't sure I knew what these really meant.
I ran into this excellent post describing this:

With this copied excerpt:
big company managers routinely describe themselves as either “tactical” or “strategic.” Typically, those who say they are “strategic” talk down to those considered more “tactical”, directly or indirectly. This is wrong-headed.
…
I’m not saying that strategy isn’t important, just that strategy directly combined with tactical skill is the real killer combo.
I know I'm a great tactical thinker. I hope I can see bigger pictures strategy items, too. There may be hope for me yet.
