Strategic leaders

Strategic leaders, or visionaries, excel at seeing the big picture.

They're skilled in:

• Finding paths from problem to solution
• Engaging teams to explore future steps
• Encouraging contributions without relinquishing control
• Setting clear objectives and standards
• Providing clarity and structure to foster innovation within boundaries.

However, visionaries can face challenges. When their big plans become too detached from what's practical or relevant, it can lead to too much creativity that might confuse and disappoint their teams. If visionaries get too caught up in their ideas, they might struggle to give clear, practical advice to their teams. The key for strategic leaders is to balance their broad visions with the real needs and limits of their projects and teams.
