They are able to think strategically, anticipate future trends and challenges, and articulate a vision that inspires and motivates others. Strategic Planning: Strategic leaders engage in strategic planning to develop a roadmap for achieving the organization's goals. They analyze the internal and external environment, set strategic priorities, and develop action plans to guide the organization towards success. They involve key stakeholders in the planning process and ensure alignment between the strategic objectives and the organization's mission and values. Decision-Making: Strategic leaders make informed and effective decisions. They gather and analyze relevant information, consider multiple perspectives, and evaluate the potential risks and benefits of different options. They are decisive and able to make tough choices when necessary. Execution and Implementation: Strategic leaders not only develop strategic plans but also ensure their successful execution. They establish clear goals, assign responsibilities, and monitor progress. They provide necessary resources and support to enable effective implementation and make adjustments as needed to keep the organization on track. Change Management: Effective strategic leaders are adept at managing change. They recognize the need for adaptation and innovation in a dynamic environment. They promote a culture of continuous improvement, foster creativity and innovation, and guide the organization through transitions and organizational changes. Collaboration and Communication: Strategic leaders foster collaboration and effective communication within the organization. They build strong relationships with stakeholders, engage employees at all levels, and create a culture of open dialogue and information sharing. They ensure that everyone understands the strategic direction and their roles in achieving organizational goals. Emotional Intelligence: Effective strategic leaders possess emotional intelligence, which includes self-awareness, empathy, and the ability to build and maintain positive relationships. They understand and manage their own emotions and those of others, which helps in motivating and inspiring the team. Learning and Development: Strategic leaders prioritize their own learning and development, as well as that of their team. They actively seek opportunities for professional growth, stay updated on industry trends and best practices, and invest in the development of their employees through training, coaching, and mentoring. By effectively applying these practices, strategic leaders can guide their organizations towards sustainable success,

“In strategy, it is important to
see distant things as if they
were close and to take a
distanced view of close
things”

5. Where Strategic Leadership Falters?
04
01 Lack of Focus 02 Limited Range 03 Loose Tactics
Leaders try to be all things to all
people, and they fail to make the tough
decisions that provide a strategic focus.
Leaders focus on short-term success at
the expense of long-term viability.
The things that people, departments,
and functional areas actually do are not
aligned with the organization’s strategy.
Lack of focus making people feels:
• overly pressured for time and
overcommitted.
• Lost the sense of what can come
off their plates.
Doesn’t mean that the short-term is not
important. But when an organization
consistently favours the short term over
the long term the organization will
suffer in the end.
• A strategic plan is only a plan;
• an organization’s actual strategy lies
in the decisions and choices its
members make as they enact, or fail
to enact, the plan.
Challenge To Strategic Leader:
1. to create focus;
2. to align tactics with strategy; and
3. to keep the long term in mind despite short-term pressures
(Hughs, 2005)

7. Human Need & Maslow’s Model
06
Effective Strategic Leadership
Islamic Perspective:
• The needs listed undoubtedly significant
and Islam recognized it and mostly can
be found in maqasid syariah.
• However, the model is lacking the
element of soul/spiritual which could be
another huge contributing factor to
one’s motivation in their behavior.
