Discuss the importance of leadership behaviors in effective strategy implementation. What qualities and behaviors do you believe are the most...

Before you
talk about the leaders behaviors, you need to define strategy implementation. The simplest way
to define strategy implementation is that it is a process that deals with the enforcement of
business tactics. Strategy implementation helps the firm achieve its objectives.


Leadership behaviors are important in strategy implementation because they
determine whether the plans fail or succeed. For the plans to succeed, the following leadership
behaviors are important: empathy, communication, and a focus on
performance.

Strategy implementation is a team effort; therefore, you need to
pay attention to the needs of your team members. As a leader, you should have empathy. Be aware
of your team members emotional needs. When they are down or upset about something, ask them
whats wrong and listen to them. Reassure them that things will be fine, and they will be glad
that you took your time to help them. The result is a more motivated workforce.


You should also communicate your expectations to the employees if you want
the strategy implementation to be successful. Let them know what you want them to do and what
you expect from them. That way, you avoid confusion and duplication of roles.


Finally, make sure that your employees are doing what they are supposed to
do. Have they achieved what you wanted them to achieve? Do they finish their tasks on time? When
you focus on performance, you guarantee the success of the strategy
implementation.
