A strategic leader is essentially the leader of any organization and someone who has to steer the company in times of change, whilst motivating and inspiring their team.
Strategic Leadership, from the renowned leadership expert John Adair, encourages leaders to focus on tomorrow rather than yesterday. It explores the nature and origin of strategic leadership and the art of inspiring others, before describing the role itself and the broad leadership functions of achieving a common task, building and maintaining a team, and motivating and developing the individual.
Full of checklists, summaries and historical examples, Strategic Leadership will encourage you to ask the right questions, defining your role and the skills you need to become an effective strategic leader.
