Strategic leadership is the ability to think on a big and small scale, long and short term, into the past, present, and future − with the judgement and insight needed to develop and execute a winning business strategy.

Strategic leadership includes an integration of critical thinking, systems thinking and strategic thinking. It is often the “secret sauce” that accelerates a leadership career.
