EP3: The 5 questions that help create a best-in-class strategic plan

from The unCorporate Leader | Leadership, Communication, Teamwork, Productivity, Strategy · host Silvia Johnson - C-Suite Exec, Board Member, Leadership Coach

Hey un-Corporate Leader, Welcome to Episode 3 of the un-Corporate Leader Podcast — where we focus on the 5 questions that help create a best-in-class Strategic Plan. Here is the thing, if you are feeling pulled in all directions, asked to do more with less, while constantly putting out other people's fires, then you may have a problem with your Strategic Plan Process. There have been moments when I've inherited a team, gone into an interim gig and found that the team had no idea what to focus on. Instead of being able to focus on the critical few, they have to deal with the trivial many. This leads to overwhelm, stress, confusion and A LOT of re-work. If you are ready to begin pairing down your and your team's workload — let's tackle it with this simple Strategy framework. By the way, I've been there — and I've helped hundreds of leaders just like you not only survive but thrive through best-in-class Strategic Planning, and I know this will help you too. What are we covering? What it means to be a "Lazy Overachiever" and why it matters to your Strategic Plan What a Strategic Plan really is and why its set-up is essential to ensuring you aren't overtaxed at work The 5 questions that will help you create a best-in-class Strategic Plan Process Why a good Strategy helps you say "no" so you can get time back Bonus: An example of creating a best-in-class culture by using the 5 questions of a best-in-class Strategic Plan Sit back, relax, and enjoy this week's episode.
