What  is this about?

Leadership is made up of different components. Some leaders are good at what they do, while others have an eye for detail and like to plan ahead. However, a truly great leader always has a strategy in mind—that's what we call strategic leadership.

The role of the strategic leader is becoming increasingly important in today's society as organizations strive to improve their effectiveness and meet the ever-changing needs of customers, employees, and other stakeholders.

Learning the difference between strategic thinking and strategic planning will help you develop as a leader in your organization. In this course, we will look at what exactly those differences are!
