What Are a Few Questions Strategic Leaders Should Ask about Their Own Leadership?

The research seems to show that 80-90% of leadership teams are clueless about how to be a team, because many members of the team join with a “silo mentality”–restricting their thinking to more operational rather than holistic and strategic.

2. How do we balance “doing the right things” for our organization with “doing things right?”
Why can’t we do both successfully and “do the right things right?” What will it take to make that happen?

3. Strategic Leadership is as much about knowing what to do as it is knowing about what NOT to do.  Are there practices we should be stopping?
For example, we are aware that certain behaviors and practices of senior management can inhibit the performance of the organization as whole – even contribute to its failure.

Be visionary (think strategically and be more intuitive and proactive); focus on releasing our own creativity, instead of just expecting our workforce to do it all–especially when we do not always give them the opportunity to be creative; and we need to “live our values/beliefs”–lead by example.  How do we ensure we are doing these things? How do we know?  If we aren’t, how do we get better?

These are examples of questions we will be thoroughly addressing in The Essence of Strategic Leadership, a 9-week program that begins next week April 3rd. To enroll and learn more, take a look here:

The Essence of Strategic Leadership is Flevy Executive Learning (FEL) program. FEL is a series of online management education programs. We help leaders of tomorrow–i.e. those on track to the C-suite in the next 1-5 years–accelerate their career growth to become successful business executives. The focus of each program is on execution, implementation, and application—not on theory. All programs are led by former executives who have “done it” before. Each program is comprised of both Learning & Application (L&A) lectures and Q&A discussion sessions; and will draw extensively from the instructor’s real world experience as a business executive.
