The following four eCourses comprise the Four Keys to Efficient Strategic Execution
In more than twenty years of helping leaders create high-performance cultures and accelerate growth, I’ve identified four key factors that must be in place for a leader to execute strategy efficiently. Without these elements, an execution can fail—even when you base it on a mature, effective strategy. The Four Keys to Efficient Strategic Execution—Leverage, Environment, Alignment, and Drive—represent solutions to these failures and form the L-E-A-D Formula™ outlined in Execution IS the Strategy.
LEVERAGE 13-Week eCourse: This is the first of a four-part series outlining the L-E-A-D Formula from Laura Stack’s book, Execution IS the Strategy, which represent the Four Keys to Successful Strategy Execution. The First Key is LEVERAGE. This 13-week eCourse explores how to use your leaders (the input force), your team members (your levers), and your resources (your fulcrum) to your maximum advantage. Do you have the right people and drivers in place to achieve your strategic priorities? If not, then you have a talent/resource issue. REGISTER
ENVIRONMENT 13-Week eCourse: This is the second of a four-part series outlining the L-E-A-D Formula from Laura Stack’s book, Execution IS the Strategy, which represent the Four Keys to Successful Strategy Execution. The Second Key is ENVIRONMENT. This 13-week eCourse explores the importance of shaping an agile organizational culture, encouraging change hardiness in your team members, and empowering employees to be shape strategy. Do you have the organizational atmosphere, practices, and culture that will allow your employees to easily support your strategic priorities? If not, you have a cultural/engagement issue. REGISTER
ALIGNMENT 13-Week eCourse: This is the third of a four-part series outlining the L-E-A-D Formula from Laura Stack’s book, Execution IS the Strategy, which represent the Four Keys to Successful Strategy Execution.

Do your team members’ daily activities move them toward the accomplishment of the organization’s ultimate goals? If not, then you have a communication/productivity issue. REGISTER
DRIVE 13-week eCourse: This is the fourth of a four-part series outlining the L-E-A-D Formula from Laura Stack’s book, Execution IS the Strategy, which represent the Four Keys to Successful Strategy Execution. The Fourth Key is DRIVE. This 13-week eCourse focuses on your team’s path to productivity, how to remove obstacles from your team’s path, speed things up, and remove time wasters. Are your organization’s leaders, teams, and employees agile enough to move quickly once the first three pieces of this list are in place? If not, you have a speed/agility issue. REGISTER
