Strategic Leadership
Strategic Leadership
- Directional integrity: Is the stated direction internally coherent, non-contradictory, and stable across time horizons
- Assumption stack: What must be true for the strategy to work (market, competition, capability, regulation, timing)?
- Trade-offs & opportunity cost: What is being chosen against (explicitly)?
- Strategic logic: Why these choices should produce advantage (mechanism, not aspiration).
- Time-horizon fit: Does the plan match the realities of cycle times, adoption, and constraints?
- Feasibility & capability readiness: Can the org execute (talent, systems, culture, capital)?
- Risk posture: downside, tail risk, fragility, and reversibility.
- Governance/ethics constraints: what is not allowed even if effective.
- Second/third-order effects: cultural, competitive response, stakeholder blowback.
- Scope & exclusions: where this doctrine fails or becomes dangerous.
