Recommendation

Whether a manager is new or experienced, growing in the role means becoming more strategic. But often, the exact meaning of “strategic” remains unclear. For Julie Zhou, it meant falling into the trap of working hard – and confusing intensity with leading strategically. Now the Facebook vice president for product design, Zhou describes the difference in a brief but enlightening article for the MIT Sloan Management Review. Rookies will learn three keys to leading strategically, and seasoned managers will appreciate the reminders.

Take-Aways

  • Strategic leadership means more than goal setting, engaging in high-level discussions and working hard.
  • Strategic leadership consists of designing actions to overcome problems and reach an objective.
  • Lead more strategically by building your team’s alignment with goals, studying the problems the team faces and establishing priorities.
