Behind every strategy should be solid

It represents the present. • Values reflect the organization’s culture and norms of corporate behavior.
Goal, Scope and Objectives • Goal articulates a desired outcome for the business over a specific time period • Scope describes the focus of the business– geography, product lines and customer segments. • Objectives are the measurable and tangible results to be achieved over a specified time period

Leadership Patterns •
Pattern 1: Ideation . Ideation is a combination of the logical and imaginative basic styles. This pattern hinges on visualizing or imagining a future that is both achievable and practical and is helpful in planning an organization’s strategic future. Ideation is the hallmark of successful CEOs, top executives, and those who are determined to achieve a new vision for their organization. Leaders in this category use logic and detailed analysis as well as vision and imagery to direct the organization.
•
Pattern 2: Stewardship : A combination of the logical and the commander basic http://gbr.pepperdine.edu/084/leadership.html styles, it is necessary in areas of financial or risk management within organizations. Leaders who utilize this style focus on resources—conserving them, allocating them wisely, and acquiring sufficient amounts to carry out the mission of the organization. Effective executives with this pattern are financial planners, managerial accounting analysts, and managers of detail and logistics.
•
Pattern 3: Coordination . A combination of the logical, commander, and imaginative basic styles, this triangular pattern is more common in smaller firms and in the second- and third-tier levels of larger organizations. The logical/commander components of this style tend to be almost equal, with an imaginative backup. In small entrepreneurial firms, the imaginative style may be the most dominant, with the commander style a strong second and the logical style http://gbr.pepperdine.edu/084/leadership.html a weak backup.

Pattern 4: Exploration . This combination of imaginative and commander styles is typical of leaders in entrepreneurial start-ups, especially female entrepreneurs. The imaginative style tends to dominate and the "follow-the-star" method of reaching a desired goal trumps everything.
•
Pattern 5: Customer-Centric . This pattern represents a combination of the supportive and commander basic styles and is dominant in strong marketing- and sales-oriented organizations. Supportive behavior comes first because empathy for customer needs is more important than the drive to convince or persuade. Empathy means understanding and wanting what is best for the customer because satisfying the customer is also in the best interests of the firm. Nonetheless, leaders must also utilize the commander style to drive results.
•
Pattern 6: Employee-Centric: A combination of the supportive and imaginative basic styles, this pattern is necessary for understanding and supporting the needs of employees, associates, and customers, as well as having the imagination to inspire through external and internal public relations, advertising, promotion, and employee empowerment programs. It is essential for human resource leaders.
