Here’s a management program from James Lorenzen your people will love:  How To Develop A High Performance Strategy.

For years, too many organizations created strategy ‘in the penthouse’ and handed it down through management to be ‘communicated’ to the employees.   The ‘Who’s Who’ book of successful companies from only a decade ago is thinner now; and the title is “Who’s Left”.

Strategy is critical to the success of any organization.  But, simply doing a SWOT analysis and applying a budget won't help you in today's climate.

There’s an old saying:  Top-down commitment gets bottom-up support; but that commitment must be demonstrated, not merely communicated.

Successful high-performance strategy today requires a ‘buy-in’ – indeed involvement to create the ‘buy-in’ - throughout the organization; but it can’t be delegated.

Developing an organization’s strategy is at the core of the leadership role; but other key people should participate.

• Alternative perspectives add insight and can prove valuable.
• Involving more people increases the knowledge of strategy throughout the organization and increases the organization’s commitment to success!
