How Strategic Are You?

Few things are more important for a leader than the ability to formulate and implement strategy. Not only is it one of the primary roles of a great leader, it is also one of the critical areas of competence that inspires and motivates people in an organization. We crave direction and a clear sense of purpose for what we do. I spend a lot of time with senior leaders creating strategy and developing execution plans, and this is what I see the best of them do at a practical level.
