Description
What does it really mean to be strategic?
Recently at a breakfast presentation with over 100 participants, we were asked to do this simple exercise. The presenter asked us to close our eyes. Then we were asked to extend our arms and point in the direction of West. Then we opened our eyes. As you can imagine there were people pointing in every possible direction. Then the presenter reminded us that strategy is often very similar. People are pulling and counter-pulling in different directions because they don’t truly understand the organisation’s direction.
Participants will discover proven ways to help permeate the organisation’s strategic objectives through the organisation. Participants will also discover how to embed a culture of strategic followership. This interactive one day course is recommended as a foundation course for new and emerging leaders.
