Strategy Begins and Ends With You...The Leader

Strategy Begins and Ends With You...The Leader

Wisdom from the age of Confucius says,  “If you are the smartest person in the room, you’re in the wrong room.” 

But should this really be true of every room...even the boardroom when the CEO and leader of a corporate family business, when meeting with her management team?

Of course, it is. 

In our last blog, we talked about the new paradigm of business today, and how you, as CEO, must evolve into being a foresight based strategist, able to see around corners toward new future opportunities. 

As the leader of your corporation, you are in charge of strategy.  You must

1. Set the strategic tone and direction of the company as a whole
2. Set the cultural tone
3. Build  your organizational team to implement the strategy

This does not mean you, as the leader, need to have all of the answers…

Your role as CEO is to ask the right questions and to surround yourself with a Mastermind Group Alliance, your executive management team responsible for deeply knowing their parts of the organization. 

Your Mastermind Group Alliance

If you, as the CEO, are responsible for asking the right questions, it is your Mastermind Group Alliance’s job to provide you with truthful answers so you are making strategic decisions based on reality...and not some fantasy world. 

To do this, you must insist on using Accurate Thinking Processes, a methodology I share in detail in my book The CEO Who Sees Around Corners, and teach in depth in my advisory sessions and corporate programs. 

When you surround yourself with a Mastermind Group Alliance dedicated to the use of Accurate Thinking Processes to provide you answers and ideas based in the reality of your organization, you can finally become the foresight based strategic leader your corporation requires to create prosperous long-term growth and thrive profitably in these fast moving, non-linear times.
