Strategic leadership for Senior Executives |
|
Most companies spend enormous effort to formulate winning business strategies for growth. However, even after having identified the way, they find themselves coming up short during implementation. It may be because of wrong understanding of their capabilities, or unrealistic plans. But the biggest reason in most cases is poor leadership. Although most leaders come up with predictable results, effective leaders create breakthrough outcome and build great culture. They nurture talent and create leaders for future. They create support systems and efficient processes that enable the organisation to execute its strategy.
Strategic leaders challenge the redundant and drive innovation. Their main job is to convert complexity to simplicity, jargons to tangibility and operate from clarity. They are the initiators & drivers of sustained growth.

Visioning & Goal Setting: “ Visualising for Successful Tomorrow ” |
|
In an organisation, Visioning is a process of visualising the future, which generates a common goal, hope, and encouragement for all. Visioning offers a key for making fundamental changes in the culture, structure, processes and the way we set performance goals and conduct business. Visioning gives people a sense of control over their future and creates a road map with a plan to move toward, while generating innovative ideas and passion to realise their vision.
The next step is to translate that vision into tangible goals, which must be understood and agreed to, between leaders and their teams. Goals must be converted into action plans.
