Aren’t all leaders strategic? Isn’t being strategic a prerequisite for being identified as a leader?

I have coached hundreds of leaders; those who have been terminated (right-sized, downsized or fired) and those who are seeking to enhance their leadership prowess. After working with this large volume of executive clients, I am able to fairly easily identify those leaders who have an innate strategic component as part of their leadership makeup, those that have acquired a certain skill level and those who talk about strategy - but don’t have a clue as to how to be a strategic leader.

Overcome Your Fears

If you have come to believe that the path to success lies in the leaders ability to be fearless, than you have misled yourself. Fearless is like a unicorn in that it is utterly imaginary! One must only be capable of finding a way to face and conquer fear. This gives an individual the capability of assuming risk and taking chances.

This is a work in progress. Tastes change. Memories change. Recipes are always being revised.

I could not but help draw parallels between the flow of life and the use of metaphors to explain some things. No big book philosophy here. Just trial and error flavors, some empirical mixed in, along with spices derived from life’s ebb and flow.
