My colleagues and I spent a long time trying to define Strategic Leadership. We concluded that the definition is:

Strategic leadership engages people in creative thinking, planning and execution to most effectively accomplish the vision.

This can be broken down as:

• Strategic leadership
• engages people in (used by all staff in the organization)
• creative (not just more of the same)
•   thinking, (ideas)
•   planning and (preparation)
•   execution (doing and checking)
• to most effectively (best of considered alternatives)
• accomplish the vision. (the goal is the macro result)
