Course description
Strategic management and leadership are halves of the same whole and have a long history. Strategic management develops a blueprint that can be followed. It does this by analyzing resources, goals, policies, and processes. It uses tools like financial analysis and marketing to guide business activities.
How is strategic management linked to leadership?
Strategic management is all about linking resources to get the most out of them. This can be done through policy and process specifications, financial, marketing, HR, and other organizational functions, which are analyzed for their potential to produce a blueprint for how things should move in the organization. Leadership plays a significant part in this strategic management because it helps identify what those resource opportunities will look like and says, “Hey! Something cool is going on here!” The rest is all about making things happen! Leadership plays a role in strategic management by setting strategies, building capabilities, and developing leaders.
