For most leaders, whether they be partners, owners, line managers or project managers, the default position is to ’take action’.  And it tends to be reactive, not proactive.  A problem arises, so let’s solve it.  Someone has an idea, so let’s do it.

Each quarter, the team dutifully looks at the results and then takes further action.

“Strategy” might come up in the conversation once a year, or even less. 

This would seem to be the tail wagging the dog.  Actions, not strategies, are driving results.  Strategy is relegated to an afterthought.  And the team is weighed down by an endless and seemingly pointless to-do list.   They have no time.

With a better focus, you can have a better business.  Don’t allow your great ideas disappear into a mosh pit of actions that are not co-ordinated towards a purpose.

Why should you have a strategy in place?

At pSE Advisory, we advocate that the leadership team should be asking ‘why’ more often.  An effective strategy can:

1. Deliver more outcomes successfully.
2. Create better business value.
3. Make management enjoyable.
4. Give you back time.
5. Prevent misallocating precious resources – time, money, people.
6. Make your business a preferred place of employment.
7. Make meetings more efficient.
