The Best Strategic Plans - Leadership Offerings from the OSU Leadership Center
From: Rake, J. (2018). The bridge to growth: how servant leaders achieve better results and why it matters more than ever. New York: Skyhorse Publishing.
"The best strategic plans drive tough choices and accountability deeper into the organization, focusing resources where they create the most economic value.
Remember, the best plans are:
- Balanced, holistic and long-term
- Developed collaboratively by the entire leadership team with broad input
- Build around a shared and well-communicated vision and stakeholder principles
- Disruptive, provocative, and an incubator of big business building ideas
- Based on clear assessments of the organization and the dynamics of the market
- Balanced cross-functionally and aligned across business units and lines of business
- Driven down to focused goals and performance measures that will become the roadmap for accountable execution
- Accomplished in a manner that builds a shared vision, ownership and cohesiveness
- Explicit and well communicated - answers the question: what does it mean to me?
- Ingrained into the fabric of the organization as a dynamic core business practice that helps keep the company continually focused on its strategic direction (p. 70-71)."
