Now, more than ever, the Collaborative Factor is being recognized and embraced as the competitive advantage needed for you to succeed – whether in your own business or as an individual contributor within a larger organization. A Collaborative Leader is an entrepreneurial leader – one charged with turning a business idea into reality, either through starting a new business or injecting new life into an existing one. Creating the strategy isn’t enough though- you need to intentionally execute. Meaning you set the intention, you set the strategy, then you set out to execute. For the 21st Century, collaborative leader, often times, execution will usually require additional talent.
Below are some best practices for setting the right strategy and closing the gap on strategy and performance:
1. You have to begin with an “approximately correct” strategy – know where you want to “go” keeping your vision within your line of sight when making decisions
2. You have to be highly focused and intentionally execute that strategy – ready to motivate and align your team and other collaborators and stakeholders to the intent, vision, and strategy
3. You need to remember it’s always about the customers – know your customers and drive everything from that
Strategy execution is the single hardest challenge in business. Any business. Which is why you don’t have to go it alone. The most successful people in business have a team of advisors…shouldn’t you?
