Strategy Development and Leadership Growth

Strategy is a framework within which decisions are made which influence the nature and direction of the business. Planning, which often is confused with strategy, starts from today and seeks to extrapolate the future. Letting long-range planning set your strategy is like choosing an excellent course of action to treat an incorrectly diagnosed problem. Strategy is the bright future that shines the light back to today, illuminating the path so that effective tactics can be energetically executed.

Since strategy is the framework to make plans, marshal resources and make day-to-day decisions it’s imperative that it is clear, concise and congruent. Otherwise we can be efficiently headed the wrong way. Companies lacking a clear, memorable, embraced strategy struggle with implementation, thwart tactical execution and blunt their effectiveness.

Organizational Environment

Leadership is the key factor of any successful endeavor. Effective leaders:

  • Effectively articulate and exemplify the vision of the organization
  • Adroitly communicate their expectations clearly, regularly and succinctly
  • Consistently gain commitment by skillfully motivating their people
  • Proficiently develop their people by building and advancing their unique skills and abilities

Employees are motivated most when they are able to apply their unique talents effectively and receive appropriate recognition for their work. It is the company’s leadership, at all levels, that establishes an environment that either invigorates or sustains or squelches employee productivity, engagement, and commitment. Creating and maintaining the proper environment for employee satisfaction and growth will produce customers/clients who are not only delighted in you and loyal to you, they will be evangelists for your company.
