Strategic Leadership:
How savvy leaders get bottom-line results
Leading Your Organization to Compete:
Your organization’s success depends on a vital group of key leaders,
your organization’s general managers.
- If they succeed at their jobs, you will change the trajectory of your organization.
- If they fail, you will lose market share, customers, and momentum.
Strategic Leadership is designed to prepare leaders for recently acquired or expanded general management roles.
This program shows them how to strengthen their leadership capabilities, develop strategic business savvy, and build the credibility and commitment essential to competing effectively in a hard-driving world, and win!
Throughout the entire program, general managers develop a sound understanding of the crucial role they play in the success of their organizations.
They return to their jobs armed with the knowledge and skills to competitively position both themselves and their operating teams well into the future.
Specifically, participants:

Background:
For the last two years Interact partnered with Stanford’s Advanced Project Management Program to create this new approach to improving leadership within organizations. We use a combination of Harvard Business Case Studies, organizationally savvy tools, video examples, and tailored practice situations to develop both their strategic and tactical skills for leading teams in complex organizations.
This course is targeted toward executives, general managers, and emerging leaders to help them prepare for these tough assignments.
Strengthening Leadership Capabilities and Management Performance
Today’s leadership requires a combination of organizational savvy, strategic thinking skills, and tactical skills for influencing others.
Successful leaders establish the kind of long-term relationships and credibility that prevent some problems, and makes resolving others easier.
They are also skilled at solving the kind of immediate, urgent and tough problems that are inevitable in high-performance organizations.
Interact built its reputation on providing tactical skills for solving immediate, urgent and tough people-related problems.
Our partnership with Stanford has helped us develop a proven strategic approach that complements these tactical skills.
- Strategic View:
Successful leaders view their organizations from a very broad perspective. This broad view includes the external business environment, the economic drivers within the organization, and the diverse individuals who must collaborate to achieve desired measurable results. They are able to articulate how initiatives relate to the overall business strategy. They also work to build productive, long-term relationships with their managers, their functional counterparts, key customers, and the other people upon whom they depend.
Strong leadership and productive relationships don't necessarily prevent problems along the road. When problems happen, tactical influence, negotiation, and problem-solving skills are needed. These have always been Interact’s strengths.

Program Focus: Building Credibility
Credibility and trust are scarce commodities in today’s organizations!
Competing priorities, limited resources, and your place in the matrix can undercut your ability to use position power to get things done. This helps participants learn how to analyze your organization’s political terrain, and how to take a strategic approach to building credibility. An engaging Harvard Business School case study illustrates the challenges leaders face, and provides a situation assessment framework for action.
Communicate the Situation
There is an art to confronting problems, especially when they involve customers, partners, and others who don't report to you. Learn how savvy leaders get people to listen without creating defensiveness. Practice these skills using role-plays drawn from challenging management environments.
Solving Motivation Problems
How do you hold people accountable when they don't report to you? Learn a toolkit of skills for building motivation and commitment as you confront problems. These skills are the "basic blocking and tackling" of project management, and they require mastery—not just understanding. Master them with guided practice and coaching.
Solving Ability Problems
Pep talks don't go very far when your team needs support. Learn how successful leaders coach teams and individuals as they overcome obstacles. Practice the hunt for quick fixes and ethical long-term solutions.
Solving Emergent Problems
In project environments you're often dependent on someone else. What can you do when one of these people goes ballistic? How can you handle the blow-up, and get your project back on course? Learn proven skills that actually work in the real world. Test them out using realistic case studies. These are tools you can use every day.
Putting these Strategies and Tactics to Work
Skills are only useful if they are used. Learn how to build both strategic and tactical skills into a business-savvy approach to your job. See how to make these skills come to life.
Renewing the Tactical Skills
Most participants benefit from a "booster shot" of skills from time to time. Use this special workshop to give people that extra jolt. Participants review and refine their skills, and learn new ways to put them to use.
