Strategic leadership is the ability to set an organization's long-term vision and direction while guiding people and resources to execute on it effectively. Senior executives and business leaders use it to anticipate industry shifts, align teams around goals, and make trade-offs between short-term performance and long-term positioning. It combines big-picture thinking with the interpersonal skills needed to inspire and mobilize an organization.
