 Given the small percentage of senior leadership
equipped to manage large-scale transformation,
companies are often forced to bring in leaders from
outside. But as we’ve observed in countless
organizations over the years, significant change in a
company is more likely to succeed if it is led from
within.
 Strategic leaders gain their skill through practice, and
practice requires a fair amount of autonomy. Top
leaders should push power downward, across the
organization, empowering people at all levels to
make decisions. Distribution of responsibility gives
potential strategic leaders the opportunity to see
what happens when they take risks.
 The management structure traditionally adopted by
large organizations evolved from the military, and
was specifically designed to limit the flow of
information. In this model, information truly equals
power. The trouble is, when information is released
to specific individuals only on a need-to-know basis,
people have to make decisions in the dark.
 Developing and presenting ideas is a key skill for
strategic leaders. Even more important is the ability
to connect their ideas to the way the enterprise
creates value. By setting up ways for people to bring
their innovative thinking to the surface, you can help
them learn to make the most of their own creativity.
 A company’s espoused statement of values may
encourage employees to “fail fast” and learn from
their errors. That works well until there is an actual
failure, leading to a genuine loss. The most dreaded
phone call in the corporate world soon follows; it’s
the one that begins: “Who authorized this decision?”
Big failures are simply unacceptable within most
organizations. Those who fail often suffer in terms of
promotion and reward, if not worse.
 Give potential strategic leaders the opportunity to
meet and work with their peers across the
organization. Otherwise, they remain hidden from
one another, and may feel isolated or alone. Once
they know that there are others in the company with
a similar predisposition, they can be more open, and
adept in raising the strategic value of what they do.
 The vast majority of professional leadership
development is informative as opposed to
experiential. Classroom-based training is, after all,
typically easier and less expensive to implement; it’s
evidence of short-term thinking, rather than long-
term investment in the leadership pipeline. Although
traditional leadership training can develop good
managerial skills, strategists need experience to live
up to their potential.
 Hiring decisions should be based on careful
considerations of capabilities and experiences, and
should aim for diversity to overcome the natural
tendency of managers to select people much like
themselves.
 Strategic leaders understand that to tackle the most
demanding situations and problems, they need to
draw on everything they have learned in their lives.
They want to tap into their full set of capabilities,
interests, experiences, and passions to come up with
innovative solutions. And they don’t want to waste
their time in situations (or with organizations) that
don’t align with their values.
 Your goal in reflection is to raise your game in
double-loop learning. Question the way in which you
question things. Solve the problems inherent in the
way you problem-solve. Start with single-loop
learning, and then move to double-loop learning by
taking the time to think: Why did I make that
decision?
 Strategists have the humility and intelligence to
realize that their learning and development is never
done, however experienced they may be. They admit
that they are vulnerable and don’t have all the
answers. This characteristic has the added benefit of
allowing other people to be the expert in some
circumstances.
