Course Description
One of the fundamental differences between leadership and management is vision. Understanding the direction an organization needs to go requires insight, judgment, and execution. In times of uncertainty and change, leaders that can think and act strategically is a strategic advantage.
The ability to think and act strategically is a key skill leaders need to add continued value in a rapidly changing business environment. Strategic direction for a company includes creating plans that should be implemented to meet your goals.
A leader is someone who can not only come up with a strategic vision in the workplace, mobilize that vision into a shared vision to get the team on board, and can execute that vision to achieve the desired outcomes.
Strategic leaders can develop a company or team vision that anticipates industry changes and organizational responses, views the organization and strategic environment holistically, creates a shared vision in the workplace, and develop a plan for getting there.
Leadership is not simply about driving an organization to achieve short-term goals. In order to be an effective leader, one must be able to take a step back and consider the future of both the organization and the strategic environment it operates within.
By taking a holistic view of both the organization and its environment, a leader can best position their team for success.

Reviews
I though this course was an excellent framework for developing strategy, vision and empowering my team. I especially enjoyed the review of the vision provided by Martin Luther King, Jr. and John F. Kennedy in their speeches. Finally, I believe the exercise on Core Values was great, I had trouble determining three people I didn’t like, and why. Great course.
This course was an excellent reminder that team members do not always understand or remember the big picture if you don’t consistently relate their work and contributions to the unit’s vision and strategy. Great course with some very specific recommendations on how to keep strategy at the forefront and ensure effectiveness in executing your strategy.
