    Ep #40 Leading Smarter: Knowing When It's a Strategy Problem… and When It's a System Problem

    📜 Summary In this conversation, TaSheena Braxton discusses the critical distinction between strategy and system within organizational contexts.

A clear direction is essential for effective strategy implementation. Execution issues often indicate a problem with the system. Leaders should evaluate their systems regularly to ensure effectiveness. Both strategy and system may need to be addressed simultaneously. Effective leadership requires awareness of both strategic and systemic needs. 📖 Chapters 00:00 Introduction to Coaching and Team Dynamics 06:08 Defining Strategy: Choices for Success 11:43 Distinguishing Between Goals, Strategies, and Tactics 17:16 Conclusion: Aligning Strategy and System for Success   Where to Find TaSheena Sign up for "A Seat At The Table," my Weekly Newsletter that empowers Women Of Color to build their own seats at the table.
