When setting bold strategies that call for changes in the direction or capabilities of the organization, consider whether you have a gap between the leadership you need, and what you currently have. One of the first questions to ask is: Do we have the leadership we need for the strategy we’ve set?

An effective leadership strategy defines the skills, behaviors, and collective leadership practices that your organization needs to meet its objectives. It’s a powerful tool that drives business performance by aligning investments in development with the overall strategy, goals, and aspirations of the organization.
A leadership strategy makes explicit how many leaders are needed, and with what skills and behaviors, to achieve the collective organizational culture required for success. For example, if your organization’s business strategy is to become more global, your leadership strategy would require building greater cultural sensitivity among team leaders. Additionally, you would need to enhance representation of different geographies at top levels, and adopt a greater understanding of local laws and business arrangements. As another example, if your business goal was to invest in more high-growth opportunities, your leadership strategy would require a focus on talent development and growing the number of leaders at every level by a certain target amount, perhaps 10% each year for the next 3 years.
When you’re developing a leadership strategy, the first thing you need to do is gather a comprehensive understanding of the current state of leadership and needed competencies in your organization. Ultimately, knowing how formal and informal leaders pull together is key to accomplishing your business goals. Then, you must also consider whether you have a gap between the leadership you need and what you currently have.
