Are You a Strategic Leader?

Two of the latest buzzwords...strategic and leader.  It seems that business success is rooted on these two basic platforms - are you strategic and are you a good leader?  What does it take to be a good strategic leader?

According to a recent article in the Harvard Business Review, there are six main areas that you need to assess to determine your level of leadership acumen... 
  • Anticipate - Do you constantly gather information from a wide network of experts and sources in order to stay on top of developments/challenges that may hit your business?
  • Challenge - Do you reframe a problem from several angles to understand root causes?  Do you seek out diverse views to see multiple sides of an issue?
  • Interpret - Do you test multiple working hypotheses with others before coming to conclusions?
  • Decide - Do you thoroughly assess an issue before taking action - evaluate tradeoffs and risks?
  • Align - Do you consider key stakeholders best interests before determining your actions?
  • Learn - Do you correct the course when you realize the direction you are headed is not the right path?
If you spot an area that you had to answer "no", focus on turning that around...and you may soon see an improvement in your business success!
