Why is leadership an important element in strategy implementation?
Find an example in a MAJOR business periodical of the CEO’s key role in strategy implementation and explain it fully to the class.
Steve Jobs is a good example. He came back to Apple and turned the company around. (Earned two billion dollars in the process!).
Leadership is important because when implementing a strategy, your troops have to really trust you and see you personally in action. The leader has to “live” by the values he publicizes, and also has to perform at a high level to set the bar as high as possible for his troops.
Think of Russell Crowe in the movie Gladiator!
