Episode Description
One of the first demands of any leader is to develop and articulate a vision of the future that inspires his/her followers to voluntarily engage and invest fully to achieve success. Many would say that task is the easy part. More difficult is figuring out all of the tactics that will need to be deployed to achieve the vision, when those tactics need to be achieved and at what level, communicating progress across the organization, changing direction quickly if the anticipated results aren’t manifested, and keeping every employee on the same page fully understanding how his/her daily contributions make a difference. Join co-hosts John Jeanetta and Dr. Sheryl Gee as the discuss how to make strategy count with Mike Mortell, director of the Strategy Counts Initiative at the Alliance for Children and Families, and the lessons learned from the 20 Strategies Counts organizations and their chief strategy officers.
