My professional passion is building, leading & mentoring highly aligned, cross-functional, collaborative teams to perform at their highest potential and achieve desired goals.== I consider myself a \'Result\' Leader. However achieving desired results requires creative thought leadership translated to actionable directives at both a strategic and tactical levels. Here are a few thoughts on \"Strategy\" vs \"Tactics\" and their respective significance.\'Strategy\' vs \'Tactics\'.clear distinction on this is key to achieving objectives - in business & life. “Strategy without tactics is the slowest route to victory. Tactics without strategy are the noise before defeat” - attributed to Sun Tzu, The Art Of War. In marketing terms, the strategy is defining the ecosystem where the business decides to engage, and how it plans to win in the market. Tactics, in contrast, are the tools and executions deployed to deliver that strategy. Strategic Intelligence enables decision-makers to discern emerging trends and patterns and to see future possibilities along with a range of probable outcomes based on available choices & options. This facilitates course correction - BEFORE the need for course correction becomes mission-critical. Tactical intelligence focuses on the present - the here & now - with clarity on past strategic decisions that led to the current situation. Tactical decisions in the present enable decision-makers to implement initiatives to take advantage of current opportunities and respond to threats. But the real-world truth is that \'Strategy\' and \'Tactics\' require authentic collaboration and emotional connection from every team member involved in implementing the action steps.
