Handbook

This course explores the complexity of strategic leadership and will give you tools and a mindset to effectively work in the challenging and rewarding environment in which senior executives lead. As you progress in your career, the requirements of operating at a higher level involve taking multiple perspectives, seeing the big picture, balancing long-term with short-term objectives, working with a diverse range of stakeholders, implementing strategies using informal influence as well as authority, and making strategic choices that involve trade-offs and risk, to name but a few.

Strategic choices are best made by formulating a clear and coherent strategy based on an evaluation of the operating environment. How can we create and capture value for the organisation and its key stakeholders given competitive, regulatory, technological and global forces, and the resources we have available? Where will we play and where will we not play?
