The Dov Baron Show The Hidden Strategist [audio] with Cecilia Lynch
We all know we need a clear strategy to move forward. However, most leadership teams fall down on implementing strategy. Why is strategic thinking so challenging to most leadership teams?
Leadership requires strategy, but how do you know if you (or a team member) is a relationship leader, a visionary or a strategic thinker?
Have you found yourself wondering how you can tap into the strategic thinking that remains dormant inside your organization?
Too often leaders just don’t know where to start planning for the future of their business; they usually start with the familiar: internally, operationally and incrementally focused. This is the wrong place to start.
Where is the right place?
Well stay tuned because for more than two decades of leading successful custom consulting engagements for corporations, entrepreneurial business and non-profits, Cecilia Lynch, principal of Focused Momentum® demystifies how to think strategically about your business to enable you to craft a winning strategy with the outside-in approach.
Cecilia Lynch is a seasoned strategist, author and the leading authority on strategic thinking. Recognized for her strategic mind while still in her 20’s, Cecilia started her executive career leading the strategic planning for a $1B global brand. In January of 2018, Focused Momentum, the strategic consulting firm she founded, celebrated its 20-year anniversary! Cecilia’s latest book “The Hidden Strategist” discussed the great need executive teams have for strategic thinking and how they continue to overlook the best strategists in their organizations – women.
