You are a leader in government, business or the non profit making sector. You spent considerable amounts of time developing your corporate strategy, refining your business unit level strategy and have translated that into an operating plan for the year. If you are in business, you know that the market expects an improved performance from the year before or at least, that you deliver results that are on par with your competitors. You also know that in these fast changing and unpredictable conditions, you have to innovate and be responsive to changing market conditions to stay in the same position. If you are in government, you know that you need to deliver basic services to your citizenry and that if you do not, the political markets may not buy your value proposition in the next elections. The strategic leadership challenge for you is threefold. Firstly, is your strategy or policy optimal for the different worlds that are unfolding in plain sight before you? Have you mapped out these different worlds in which your strategy or policy is supposed to play out? Secondly, can you move your system to deliver on the promises you made and on your strategy. Do you have a firm grip on the levers that you need to pull to move the system in the desired direction sustainably? How easy is it to pull these levers? Do you have a firm grip on the tactics that will help you move the system in the desired direction? Thirdly and lastly, can you your managers join these tactics together in a coherent fashion and at decisive points to help deliver the big prize. This is the strategic leadership challenge that every leader faces. Are you up to the challenge? Is your leadership team up to the challenge?
