Leaders naturally single out those team members whose contributions stand out. Those who take charge, operate with initiative, and drive assignments forward get the bulk of the praise and recognition from leaders. It only makes sense to focus on those out in front and who make things go. But great leaders don’t forget about the team members who operate in the background.
High-level athletes alternate their workouts to avoid overworking one muscle group over another. This alleviates strain and allows them to focus exclusively on one area of the body without losing focus on the larger picture of well-rounded strength. Leaders would be wise to apply this same strategy to organizational goals.
In an organizational setting, leaders who apply goal rotation insist on a temporary focus for improvement or change without allowing the team to lose sight of the vision, strategy, or long-range goal set.
A strategy is a game plan for action. It crystallizes what actions and resources must be coordinated to achieve a specific goal or outcome.
A good strategy provides the direction and focus that galvanizes the team to execute and achieve. It clarifies what the team is working on and why. After crafting a workable strategy, leaders must communicate the plan in plain and simple language so the team understands and can act on it.
