Demystifying Strategic Planning: People-Centered Leadership, #2

By Scott Patchin

Over the past two years, Scott Patchin has spent over 50 days coaching leadership teams through strategic planning using a tool called the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS®). In that time, he has lived out his belief that smaller organizations can create a classroom in their business, developing as leaders while they work.

In this second volume of the People-Centered Leadership series, Patchin answers the number one question he gets from leaders: how to effectively plan. Here he covers what strategic planning is, equips leaders with some terms so they can talk about it effectively with their teams, and gives them next steps to implement – regardless of whether they are a CEO or manager.
