NOTE

Strategists audit for progress

#strategy (2)#leadership (6)

Technocratic leaders trust process completeness; strategic leaders audit processes for progress toward outcomes—and abandon or alter a process when it is not producing results (Roger Martin).

  • Technocrats map strategy → long-range planning → budget → OKRs and treat the chain as the point; strategists treat outputs as the point.
  • Over-indexing on “running the process well” can mask stagnation until the leader is gone.
