Strategic leadership may broadly be divided in to seven stages. The first one is at the executive function level. It involves mastering one’s impulse and emotion. The next is about acquiring the right business intelligence on what others are thinking. Mentalizing becomes crucial at this stage. The third stage is all about applied mindfulness, so the leader becomes habitually self- aware. Wise expedience gets built in during the fourth stage. Integrity gets wedded to pragmatism now. The next one is known as the mentalizer’s paradox. Now, the side effects of success need to be neatly navigated. The penultimate stage involves standing the high ground on a broader scale. One’s aspirations expand during this period. And finally, one needs to build a legacy.
