Becoming a Strategic Leader Program
A Strategic Leader is confident and capable of creating a shared vision of future success, developing a challenging yet doable approach to fulfil this vision, and enabling people who often think differently to work together towards this common purpose.
This means executing strategy and leading change in uncertain environments, while managing difficult people issues where there are many ways forward.
The Strategic Leader understands that to be competitive, they must continually innovate and improve their business. This means selecting, implementing, and executing activities differently and better than rivals do.
This program has three aims, 1) help you become more strategic in your thinking and acting, 2) provide powerful tools that significantly accelerate your strategic impact and 3) enable you to lead people and teams that buy-in and take ownership for transformation and your strategic mission.
Target group
Leaders who lead other managers and others who are intent on becoming a more Strategic Leader.
