One needs to plan each step of a project or a task carefully and precisely when they are the team leader.

Ø Why is strategic planning vital?

The success of your organisation depends on the quality of your leaders. Strategic planning is essential for knowing where your company needs to go and how to get there. Leaders are often the ones who make strategic plans for the future. Therefore, having a stable layout is essential for the success of your organisation.

Organizations require guidance and corporate objectives to move forward. Strategic planning offers that type of direction. Ideally, a strategic plan is a blueprint for achieving the company's goals. Without such guidance, there is no way to know whether a corporation is on the right path to reach its goals.

When steering through difficult monetary and market conditions, corporations need to have a well-thought-out strategy that is grounded in reality but can be quickly adapted when conditions change.

A good leader needs to-

• Develop a clear vision and mission for your organisation so everyone can understand and support your goals.
• Address the priorities to achieve the vision.
• Design a plan to structure the organisation around the mission.

Ø What are the aspects of strategic planning?

1) Tasks

2) Objectives

3) Review

Let's understand each aspect of strategic planning briefly-

1) TASKS

 Strategic planning starts with a task that provides a firm feeling of purpose and direction. The association's task description portrays what it is, what it accomplishes, and where it requires to go.

2) OBJECTIVES

Strategic planning consists of selecting objectives. Vital parts of workflow use 'SMART Objectives.'

They are -

• Specific
• Measurable
• Achievable
• Realistic
• Time-bound

The leader and their group need to be specific while setting goals as they have limited time and require a successful output.

Measurable objectives are vital as they encourage leaders to decide how well the firm functions against other plans and the all-around task. 

Setting ambitious objectives and then; not being able to fulfil them is a waste of time, energy, and a black spot on reputation.

Thus, one must set uncomplicated and achievable goals to receive a great outcome.

The objectives set; should be realistic in terms of resources available, time that one can invest, etc.

Objectives need to be time-bound; The task set-up should have a specific beginning and end date. If the plan is not time-restricted, there will be no feeling of speed, which means there would be less encouragement and a more lethargy attitude towards achieving the goal.

3) REVIEW

 The workflow set for a given task must constantly be in review to make changes and tailor the plan as and when needed according to the current circumstances.

Ø What are the advantages of strategic planning?
