Strategic Leadership

OVERVIEW

A leader's role is not just to define the organization’s strategy. Indeed, the most effective strategies often evolve and do not always require a detailed and formalized process. However, defining strategy, even in the broadest outline, cannot be separated from its execution. 

Leaders must drive through the implementation of strategy or else the internal and external forces at play will ultimately drive them. Executing a winning strategy, through teams, individuals, and the optimal use of the organization’s resources is the ultimate responsibility of leaders and top teams. It is also the harsh criterion upon which they will be measured.
