LEAD009 - Strategic Thinking: Creating Long-Term Success
Develop logical, data-driven solutions to your business and organizational problems
Managers and leaders must not only produce a winning strategy at a given point in time, but also get employees to execute the strategy and adjust it as conditions change. This requires a focus on the content of the strategy and the process behind it. This approach allows leadership to move their organizations from a reactive to proactive culture.
