Session Three:
Being Strategic:
How to be strategic and get credit for it
Presented By: Tammy Heermann
Wednesday, December 6th, 2017
12:00pm - 1:00pm
About the Session:
Strategic; it’s the label that everyone’s looking for. We lead with it on our resumes, we search for it on our 360 feedback, and we yearn for it from partners and funders. After all, strategic people are more successful, better paid, and have greater leadership potential.
The quest to be perceived as strategic however, is a more difficult battle for women than men. One surprising study found that strategic ability was, in fact, women’s Achilles heel. In this session Tammy shows that being perceived as strategic is well within your reach; and it’s probably not what you thought. It’s not just the ability to produce a great looking strategy document or that you have the authority to make organization-wide decisions. It requires only that you be more deliberate. Being strategic is about stepping out of the day-to-day madness and recognizing moments of choice that serve tomorrow. You’ll gain a whole new perspective as we confront the misguided ideas and half truths about what being strategic means. In this session you will:
-
Learn practical ways to change perceptions of your strategic capability through the use of questions and points of view
-
Increase your ability to build and navigate relationships more strategically
-
Build a plan to increase your effectiveness as a strategic leader and build that capability in others
