Frequently Asked Questions About Strategic Leadership

A strategic leadership vision is a mental image of what the future will look like, guiding an organization toward its desired destination.
The vision is more than a goal; it serves as a compelling and realistic picture of the destination or place the organization strives to get to. This vision inspires team members and stakeholders to work together toward a shared purpose.

Measuring strategic leadership requires setting up metrics aligned with your objectives and outcomes. Examples of metrics include:

  • Financial performance: Revenue growth, profitability, and ROI
  • Market share: Growth or decline in market share
  • Customer satisfaction: Net Promoter Score (NPS) and customer satisfaction surveys
  • Employee engagement: Employee satisfaction surveys and turnover rates
  • Innovation: Number of patents, new product launches, and greater internal efficiency and effectiveness.

Leadership assessment tools can provide additional insight. These include:

  • Strategic Leadership Assessment: This validated assessment evaluates the specific behaviors needed of leaders to be effective at planning and executing critical strategic initiatives.
  • Strategic Mindset Assessment: This powerful self-evaluation tool measures an individual’s ability to anticipate trends, interpret complex environments, and make future focused decisions.
  • Needs analysis/organizational assessment: This process can identify areas for improvement within an organization via surveys, observations, focus groups, and more. This data helps pinpoint opportunities that enable organizations to achieve maximum performance and greater alignment around strategic direction.
  • 360-degree feedback: A 360-degree leadership assessment can evaluate a range or leadership competencies, including strategy, and collect feedback from multiple rater groups (e.g., peers, subordinates, superiors, and external stakeholders).

Strategic leadership is not without its fair share of complexities and obstacles. Overcoming strategic leadership challenges requires:

  1. Clear communication: Communicate clearly to ensure the organization’s strategic goals, priorities, or plans have been cascaded to team and individuals. Utilize and leverage different communication styles and approaches to create buy-in and commitment in supporting the strategy work.
  2. Continual learning: Strategic leaders must continually learn and evolve to stay relevant in a changing landscape. They must be adaptable and agile in working to overcome obstacles and embrace new and different perspectives.
  3. Data-based decisions: It can be easy to let emotions and biases cloud judgment, which can lead to costly mistakes. Lean on data and analysis to make effective decisions and when taking calculated risks.
  4. Address resistance: Managing change due to strategic pivots often involves working with those who are resistant to change. Take time and explore how to help others adjust to change and transformation efforts. By helping team members understand the value and purpose behind the change, you begin to create a culture of change agents.

Through strategic leadership coaching, learning programs, or self-paced courses, leaders can develop the strategy skills they need to guide their organizations toward long-term success.
