Strategic Leadership Training
A strategic leader is one who carefully weighs available options and positions the company for growth by taking action.
This leadership style is dynamic by nature and requires a high level of commitment and work involvement. A strategic leader excels in decision making. The ability to see the intricacies of a situation and find the best possible solution is an important skill for any leader.
In addition, this type of leader also knows when to take calculated risks that will further the goals of the company. Being able to adapt to marketplace changes and take advantage of new opportunities as they present themselves is an earmark of being a strategic leader.
Often overlooked is the growing importance of ethics in a strategic leadership style. Strategic leadership of ethical behavior in business can no longer be ignored. Executives must accept the fact that the moral impact of their leadership presence and behaviors will rarely, if ever, be neutral.
In the leadership capacity, executives have great power to shift the ethics mindfulness of organizational members in positive as well as negative directions. Rather than being left to chance, this power to serve as ethics leaders should be used to establish a social context within which positive self-regulation of ethical behavior becomes a clear and compelling organizational norm and in which people act ethically as a matter of routine.
The hard truth is that in today’s transparent social-media-driven world, senior executives, especially those with a high profile, will be tested and called to task over their morals and ethics in how they do business.
Vision is another important core value of leadership and is at the heart of strategy.
This is why so many experts in the field of leadership training focus on vision as one of the key core values in a strategic leadership approach.
A strategic leader possess the vision and capability to develop and execute reasoned and sound decisions that will have a long-term impact on the organization. In addition, a strategic leader is better able to effectively channel the available resources to meet the needs of the organization. Strategic decision-making is a key pointer of the positions occupied by a strategic leader, their experience, and the prevailing organizational environment.
The leaders of an organization should be able to create the vision for the enterprise in a way that will engage both the imagination and the energies of its people.
Core values are the essential and enduring principles that define what your company stands for. They are the bedrocks upon which your entire company runs, from hiring and management to strategy and operations.
Setting your company’s core values seems simple, but can be one of the hardest aspects of strategic leadership, which is why training such as that offered by Tonex can help move the process of strategic leadership along.
