Week 23

11)    In your own words using referenced quotes describe what is meant by the term strategic leadership.
The process of using well considered tactics to communicate a vision for an organization or one of its parts. Strategic leadership typically manages, motivates and persuades staff to share that same vision, and can be an important tool for implementing change or creating organizational structure within a business.
 (Business Directory)

The business world has few leaders who have transformed their companies and the industries in which they operate. Two of the few are Jorgen Vig Knudstorp and Clive Beddoes. (Glenn Rowe)
I define strategic leadership as an ability to influence the co-workers in the organization to willingly help in making the daily decision making in the organization which might help in long term growth and survival of the company.


22)     Identify two interesting similarities and differences between the five elements of Successful and Effective Strategic Leadership model and the Transcendent Leadership model
The differences between the 5 Elements of Successful and Effective Strategic                             Leadership model and the Transcendent Leadership are mentioned in below table:
     Elements of Successful and Effective Strategic   Leadership
     Transcendent Leadership
1)    Lynch model of strategic leadership believe that with an excellent relationship with both the internal and external stakeholders, the business may be capable to familiarize  to the   change in a difficult situation
1)       Transcendent model is more    focused with the structure of the organization, procedure and the rules
2)        Lynch model is more supple model as it focuses on the development of key skills of employees and emphasizes in better relationship between employers.
2)        Transcendent leadership model have not mention such relationship with stakeholders.






3)     How would you describe Jeff Bezos strategic Leadership style? Is there evidence that he demonstrate all the elements of strategic leadership from the two models? Which elements are strongly evident in the case and which less so?
Over the 19 years Amazon.com has revolutionized the way we shop and all thanks to  Mr. Jeff Bezos.  He tries to  find  the best truth but thinking how might the truth change the situation in the  future,  i  think he foresight things and also  rather than accepting  the similar  and repeating way  of getting things done, he wants to reinvent everything things and get the things done  in a lot better way.
