Combining Strategic and Operational Leadership – Grow your business as you work

Strategic and operational thinking and behaviour require different perspectives, areas of focus, skill sets, and execution. This session outlines the difference between these two domains, and how to successfully balance them.

In this session, we explore what it means to be strategic and what it means to be operational. We review the differences and areas of overlap across these two domains.

Some areas we consider in this session are the perspectives or lenses needed for Strategy versus Operations. We look at the difference in skill sets and activities. 

The session offers tools supporting Leaders and Managers to effectively move between these two domains in thinking and action. We explore these domains from the point of thinking in terms of making time, asking strategic questions, and setting strategy and from the point of execution including managing conflict, delegation, setting expectations, setting goals and direction
