Are You Getting Results from your Strategy? As a leader in a growing business, how do you ensure that your strategy remains straightforward yet impactful? Have you found that simplifying your approach leads to more effective outcomes? In what ways do you integrate simplicity into your strategic planning to enhance clarity and focus for your team? The Fifth Stream of Leadership Influence is Strategy.

Transcript

How important is a good strategy? Think about the most important thing you want to accomplish as a leader. Can you describe it to me so I can see it with you? Are we looking at the same attractive future and similar detail? That is what shared vision makes possible. The first stream of leadership influence. Next comes team values and goals. These four streams of influence represent the preparation phase of accomplishing anything significant. Your big accomplishment can't be completed on your own. You need a team working in coordinated action. What makes coordinated smart action possible? A good strategy. Over my years as a leadership coach and consultant, I've LED multiple strategic planning events. Here's what I've learned as I reflect on those most successful. First, a good strategy must be simple. If you can't describe it to me briefly in terms I can understand, you have more work to do. Two, your strategy must enable everyone to accomplish each of the steps represented by the goals you set. Remember the 4th stream of Leadership Influence goals #3 Strategy must close what I call the gap between current reality as things actually are and the inspiring vision everyone can now see clearly. And finally. The strategy must enable the good things that are wanting to happen to occur. I call this removing the kinks in the hose, though releasing those resources and the energy naturally that will work in favor of the good outcomes everyone wants. Your strategy leverages good intentions, helpful inventions, and a singular path over and around obstacles. Everyone sees standing in the way of the desirable future that's calling. Everyone's strategy is the 5th step of leadership influence that gets everyone into action, working together to make things happen. One of the overall benefits of smart strategy is that it creates a learning environment that will teach everyone over time what it takes to bring a shared vision into reality. This is necessary because we're entering unknown territory. We've not been here before and as a result, we will have to learn together. How to overcome obstacles we found and are yet to discover in this grand adventure called The Strategy.

Transformational leadership involves the leader sharing the outcome they want the team to achieve. Transactional leadership is where most leaders go wrong and become the bottleneck of tell, do, check, and the team is then waiting for their next assignment. Do you train your leaders on how to lead and coach? It may be the unlock to 10X your business this year. Message me Coach to learn more.

Most leaders are burnt out and exhausted because they are too involved in checking their team's work. A better approach is through transformational leadership where the team owns getting the project back on track, and you can ask them powerful coaching questions when progress is not tracking to plan. Message me "Coach" to learn more about how we train leaders on becoming transformational leaders, and to stop being transactional leaders. #leadershipjourney, #leadershipdevelopment https://lnkd.in/gpA6Rs68
