One of your most important roles as a CEO or strategist is to develop a powerful strategy that provides direction to the organization. Sounds easy enough. But developing a business strategy that provides direction, meets the expectations of a board of directors, and disparate stakeholders, future proofs the organization, and gets everyone in the organization excited about the future, is a daunting task. Not everyone in the organization is ready to support you. You will come up against personal interests, unresolved conflict, blindspots, status quo protectors, and people who cannot move beyond thinking about day to day operations. Some of these challenges are easy to spot, but some people may quietly sabotage your efforts behind your back. The stakes are high. If you develop a powerful strategy that gets everyone in the organization excited about the future, and supporting you in your new direction, your organization will thrive in the future.
