4 Roles Strategic Leaders should never be doing on a Project

You can't lead from the top when you're stuck in the weeds of a project.

If you're leading transformation and still:

👉 Writing project status updates

👉 Sitting in every stand-up

👉 Jumping in to "fix" delivery issues yourself

You're doing two jobs, and we know how that works out. Strategic leaders need to be able to steer the ship, not row it. 

But in complex change, the delivery load can drag you back into the weeds, when every hour you spend on project detail is one you should be using to keep stakeholders aligned, keeping sight of the long game, and leading the strategy.

That's why I step in as a Strategic Execution Partner, embedded senior delivery leadership that runs delivery so you can lead at the level you need to.

In this carousel, I've broken down 4 roles a strategic leader should never be doing, and who should be doing them instead.
