“There’s a small select group of leaders out there, and they work in organizations, they lead companies where they’re always hungry to get better. Sometimes they’re struggling, sometimes they’re doing really well. But at the end of the day, they always have this growth mindset of how can we better?”
I am excited to share this episode with you as we delve deep into strategic leadership. Helping me discuss this topic is my guest Rich Horwath. As someone who has helped more than a quarter million leaders develop their strategic thinking and planning capabilities over the past two decades, I couldn’t think of anyone else better to join me on the mic this week.
In this 30-minute conversation packed with value, we talk about:
The definition of Strategic Leadership and the importance of carving out time to strategize your life or your business, especially in an environment filled with to-do lists, appointments, and distractions.
We also discuss Rich’s book, “STRATEGIC: The Skill to Set Direction, Create Advantage, and Achieve Executive Excellence” – which is an amazing resource for leaders out there looking to further explore their potential to become the most successful and effective leaders they can be.
And so much more!
