I can visualize your viewpoint as noted in Lepsinger (2010), \u201cthey create a supportive environment and catch employees doing something right as opposed to always seeking what they might be doing wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Strategic leadership (SL) leads to higher workplace satisfaction and employees who are more engaged. I have come to understand one of the Senge\u2019s law as noted; \u201cSystems Can\u2019t fully perceived with one set of eyes.\u201d And because happier employees naturally want to do better work, then, productivity is improved. SL promote an inquisitive workplace culture and system thinking; thus, the ability to be self-critical is essential in strategic leadership development. Developing the capacity to challenge preconceived notions by focusing on the cause of an issue instead of symptoms and effect; therefore, thinking about assumptions critically and encouraging debate and different opinion in a safe-zone meeting where everyone knows the importance of their input and participation.<\/p>\n<p>Team effectiveness measured by, \u201cthe ability and willingness to make choices among many alternatives of activities in which the team could invest its energy and resources or ask the whole organization to invest (Hughes, Beatty &amp; Dinwoodie, 2014). Creating a strategy as a composition of trade-offs and effectiveness of SLTs requires communicating, disseminating, and receiving. Additionally, delegate responsibility and foster ownership to the team so\u00a0everyone is sharing the burden, thus, accepting ownership of their duties and they hold themselves accountable for the task success or failure.<\/p>\n<p>The importance of having trust and mutual influence as a leadership strategy,\u00a0 where, taking an intelligent, calculated risk and common sense collectively; thereby,\u00a0 \u201cembrace a bold strategic decision with a level of commitment and collaboration throughout the organization\u201d (Hughes et al., 20014, p.210). Effective team leaders are committed to the team\u2019s goal (Northouse, 2013), and give members autonomy to unleash their talents through their participation and maintain collaborative climate and building confidence among members through ownership and involvement. As a result, driving change and leading successful team involves changing with the time. It\u2019s all comes back to taking a strategic risk and knowing when to jump on a good idea.<\/p>\n<p>The tactics inherently in SLT are the ability to make the strategic choices and examine the influences in the leadership context and taking into consideration the cultural climate of the team. \u00a0It is about deliberate and sustained practice. Thereby, fostering the climate of learning into an organization as a learning process without affecting the team\u2019s norms, shutting down team creativity, efficiency and cohesiveness. Resulting, designing future strategy where all staff can engage in and positioning themselves for the future.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Reference<\/p>\n<p>Hughes R., Colarelli-Beatty K. &amp; Dinwoodie\u00a0 D.
