Executive Strategies

Strategies implemented by leaders within their respective organizations can differ depending on several variables. Leaders can be very effective in one sector, but fail in another because the same leadership strategies used in one sector may not apply to another. For example, a leader who uses certain strategies in the military sector may not be successful using those same leadership strategies in a nonprofit charitable organization. Effective leaders use the most appropriate strategies not only for a specific situation, but for the overall sector in which they lead.

Instructions

Inform your audience how this leader’s strategies align with the leadership strategies most commonly used within the sector. Determine if the leader is using the most effective strategies, and if not, recommend improvements to assist the board.

Incorporate appropriate animations, transitions, and graphics as well as speaker notes for each slide. The speaker notes may be comprised of brief paragraphs or bulleted lists.

Support your presentation with at least three scholarly resources. In addition to these specified resources, other appropriate scholarly resources may be included.
