PROJECT-BASED LEARNING
Tactical leadership
According to HBR, 90% of leaders fail to achieve all their strategic goals. Is it due to poor strategy or poor execution?
Steve Jobs once said ‘To me, ideas are worth nothing unless executed... Execution is worth millions.’ Leaders who put strategy into action become your competitive advantage.
GRIST’s Tactical Leadership program offers a methodology for translating personal or organisational goals into immediately applicable micro-behaviours.
The objective is for leaders to engage their teams and identify the smallest of actions that make progress towards the goal, achieve a measurable uplift in performance and develop their people’s capability.
‘The central issue isn’t strategy, structure or systems… but the core of the matter is always about changing the behaviour of people and behaviour change happens successfully when people are engaged, and their feelings, values and beliefs are taken into account.’
— John Kotter, global expert on culture and change
