Strategy
Strategy is a high level plan to achieve one or more goals under conditions of uncertainty. Strategy is important because the resources available to achieve these goals are usually limited. Strategy is also about attaining and maintaining a position of advantage over adversaries through the successive exploitation of known or emergent possibilities rather than committing to any specific fixed plan designed at the outset. Henry Mintzberg from McGill University defined strategy as "a pattern in a stream of decisions" to contrast with a view of strategy as planning while Max McKeown argues that "strategy is about shaping the future" and is the human attempt to get to "desirable ends with available means".

Examples of strategy in a Sentence
They'll just have to deal with it … And I think that this is a strategy from the Democrats that just doesn't work anymore, when you call everyone racist for every single thing that they say and do, then everything is racist, and it no longer means anything.
