THE ESSENCE OF A GOOD STRATEGY DEFINES THE NATURE OF THE CHALLENGE AND IDENTIFIES CERTAIN ASPECTS OF THE SITUATION AS CRITICAL, TO SIMPLIFY THE COMPLEXITY OF THE REALITY.

The essence of a good strategy promotes purposes worth pursuing and capable of being accomplished.

Leadership inspires people into an unalloyed commitment to a vision or goal and into the worthwhileness of making painful adjustments often demanded by a change.

The transformational leader gets by on creating a vision of a new reality that unlocks human energy and potential and, on connecting that vision to people’s values and needs.

Visionary leadership blended with charisma and a detailed attention to obstacles and effective action accomplishes a great enterprise. During his times in India, Gandhi’s charisma and vision intermixed with a good strategy secured to India independence. His strategy leaning on peaceful matches and non-resistance badly dented the self-image of their British rulers.

The transformational leader strengthens the hub of a good strategy, resonating to coherent action energized by a sound argument. The essence of a good strategy defines or identifies the nature of the challenge and highlights certain aspects of the situation as critical, to simplify the complexity of the reality. It also boasts of a guiding thought system or policy to deal with the challenge and a set of coherent actions that capture the essence of the guiding policy. For a doctor, the challenge rears up as a set of signs and symptoms in addition to all relevant histories. A clinical diagnosis names a disease or pathology, and the preferred therapeutic approach is the doctor’s guiding policy. The specific prescriptions to overcome the challenge, advocating for diet, therapy and medication are the set of coherent actions to be implemented to see off the challenge.
