Before embarking in strategic changes, CEOs need to check 3 basic conditions for success:
– the quality of the distributed leadership
– the strength of the collaboration in the executive team
– the commitment of the board
A CEO needs to work on all 3, and from my experience it all starts here. Too often strategic change fails because organizations jump into action, content, expertise…
But strategy execution is about human behavior, getting people from A to B. And that requires leadership in all areas and on all levels.
