Task One - Great Strategy Discussion
Determining your next move draws on everything you know about your competition, your own team, and the playing field. You need to discuss your options and choose what you will and won't do.
• When have you been part of a great strategy discussion? Was it well informed? Candid? Passionate?
• If you haven't experienced great strategy discussions, what has gotten in the way?
Task Two - How Will You Get Buy In?
• Who do you expect will resist? Why?
• Who will be your most important supporters? How will you mobilize their support?
• What issues do you expect to face when getting buy in for your next big move?
Application Activity - Share Your Strategy
Share your next big move with an individual or group within your organization. Choose an audience that will give you immediate feedback and will be candid.
• What did you say? What did you do?
• How did you gain buy-in, persuade, excite, and motivate?
• How did it go?
