If you’re the CEO, business unit leader, or department head this is what you should be doing:

1) Set the goal

2) Design the strategy to reach the goal

3) Operationalize the strategy; make a plan (e.g., break it down, make it measurable)

4) Staff the plan (e.g., hire, fire, promote or regroup)

5) Align the culture to the plan (e.g., communicate, measure, reward)

Rinse and repeat.
