ASP CHICAGO Presents
The Role of the Leader in Strategy Execution
To guide any organization to achieve its desired results leaders are responsible for developing a successful strategy and then leading the rest of team in execution of the strategy. When leaders coach their team, remove road blocks and ensure the right outcomes are achieved the infamous strategy execution gap can be avoided.
Unfortunately, too often leaders delegate execution and lose track of what is happening in their organization. According to McKinsey, “Half of all efforts to transform organization performance fail because leaders don’t act as role models or because people in the organization defend the status quo.”
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
- Learn what leaders must do to be successful in executing strategy
- Understand how leader’s day-to-day activities change when they lead execution
- Find out what other organizations are doing to effectively execute their organization’s strategy
- Learn how to gain employee engagement through the execution journey
