How to excel at the #1 leadership and life skill
Introducing the BM. Bartlett Portfolio
If you want to dramatically improve your performance and results, there’s a powerful skill you need to learn and excel at.
It’s a skill that separates high performers from their less successful counterparts. It is applied by champion businesses such as Coca Cola, Toyota and Google. Sports teams like the New Zealand All Blacks rugby team, the Argentina Football team and the USA women’s basketball team. And high performing individuals like Warren Buffett, JK Rowling and Roger Federer.
What is the skill? It is the ability to develop and skillfully execute a good strategy.
Yes, the secret to success in any endeavor is to develop and skillfully execute a good strategy. Furthermore, if you are not performing well and not getting the results you want, it is simply because your strategy and/or execution is flawed.
In business, the ability to develop and execute strategy has a specific term. It’s called strategic management.
Strategic management is so important that it is taught as the main subject in business school programs such as the MBA. It is the #1 skill of business leaders.
The reality is though, strategic management is not only the #1 leadership skill in business. It is the #1 life skill. Indeed, high performers in all walks of life are masters of strategic management.
Strategic management applies to anything you do in life that involves performance, whether it be growing a business, losing weight, improving your marriage, winning a sports championship or even playing a musical instrument. Success is all about skillfully executing a good strategy.
How to excel at strategic management? At work and in life? You need to develop the most important leadership. It’s called strategic leadership.
Strategic leadership defined? In simple terms, strategic leadership is the ability to guide oneself and others to achieve personal and team goals.
Most people are familiar with leadership as an ability to guide others. This is also known as team leadership. However, what’s more important than leading others is the ability to lead oneself. Combining these two leadership abilities is what strategic leadership is all about.
Anyway, if strategic leadership is something you want to be better at, you’ve come to the right place.
