  Strategic Leadership.

Strategic leadership within organizations refers to the ability to anticipate change, to envision the future, and while maintaining flexibility, working with others to initiate changes to create a viable future for an organization.

Strategic leadership is a boundary-spanning role, requiring a focus on the external environment of the organization, actively engaging with relevant aspects of it in order to anticipate changes that will affect the organization.

4. Understanding the Organisation and its Context.

a.    Understanding as an active process.

b. Impact of mental models.

By developing a vision, a clear mission and a strong set of values, the leader is developing a set of governing ideas that provide answers to the what, why and how. These ideas tell us:

·        What the picture of the future is that we want to create.

·        How we will go about creating this future, the contribution we will make that is more than simply to satisfy the needs of shareholders and employees.

·        What values will guide us in the pursuit of our vision and purpose
