One thing I have learnt about Strategic Leadership as a combination of Strategy and Leadership is that a Leader should take into account both – an individual related point of view including the question “how to manage employees through a vision, objectives and tools” as well as a focus on the company’s strengths and weaknesses, opportunities and threats - in order to gain competitive advantage.
}How did I contribute to the group exercise?
From my point of view I took charge by first of all proposing to make a kind of a brain storming so as to define the term “Strategic Leadership” subsequently and second of all contributing some of the key aspects. At the same time I tried to respect dissenting opinions.
}What I might do differently if we were to do a similar exercise in future.
If we had to do the same exercise again, I would propose to part the process of defining the term even more meaning first to think about the task every group member on it’s own, then to brainstorm and finally try to find a consent. That would probably help to achieve a more diverse solution at the end.
What I want to remember from Seminar 1.
- Strategy: Mostly about the scope of an organisation
- Leadership: Mostly about influence
- Strategic Leadership: Does not happen in isolation; "In truth, any individual with responsibility for the performance of human capital and/or a part of the firm is a strategic leader"
