Strategic Leadership

Strategic Competitiveness Above-Average Returns

Many leaders today do not understand the ongoing, intimate connection between leadership and strategy. Specialists help managers analyze their industries and position their businesses for competitive advantage, and strategy has become largely a job for experts, or something confined to an annual planning process. What's been forgotten is that strategy is not a destination or a solution. It's not a problem to be solved and settled. It's a journey. It needs continuous, not intermittent, leadership. It needs a strategist.

No matter how carefully conceived, or how well implemented, any strategy put into place in a company today will eventually fail if leaders see it as a finished product.

The strategist is the one who must shepherd this ongoing process, who must watch, identify and decide and move, time and time again. The strategist is the one who may decline certain opportunities and pursue others. Consultants' expertise and considered judgments can be considered, but, in the end, it is the strategist who bears the responsibility for setting a firm's course and making the choices day after day that continuously refine that course.

That is why strategy and leadership must be reunited at the highest level of an organization. All leaders shall own strategy as the heart of their responsibilities.
