##### INTRODUCTION

While it is important for leaders to have a deep understanding of their specific area of expertise when leaders are too focused on executing on tasks, it prevents them from connecting to the strategic big picture and forming relationship with the people who need to be the ones executing on tasks. As a leader, your focus needs to shift away from task execution to a people focus; facilitating the success of your team as a whole. For many leaders, this is a challenge, even when they have been in a management role for years.

Key indicators of managers who think and operate strategically:

- Differentiate between task-oriented leadership and strategic leadership.
- Cultivate a forward-thinking perspective that prioritizes the needs and goals of your key stakeholders.
- Deploy ideas decisively in alignment to the appropriate risk- roll out strategy
