Subversive Industry Trend Emerges: Sharpening Employee Strategic Acumen

Strategic acumen was once the domain of company officers, but pressure toward greater innovation and productivity are turning company hierarchies on their heads. Leadership development is being pushed through all levels of organizations, along with the need for greater strategic acumen in all employees. The surprising key in accomplishing this is to grow employee subversiveness.

“Managers need managing from their employees today more than ever,” says Michelle Randall, leadership expert and president of Enriching Leadership International, a global management consultancy. “A smart team with strategic acumen is more nimble and increases the speed of improvement in organizations, such as Google, that embrace this kind of input.” Randall also notes that there is a direct correlation between increased strategic abilities and career development.

Best Practice Institute has tapped Randall to become an expert consultant for the renowned organization. Randall will be teaching her first webinar for the institute on January 15, 2013. In the webinar, titled “Sharpen Your Strategic Acumen to Unleash Your Career,” Randall will address:
• The characteristics of strategic contribution
• Getting a seat at the table when strategic direction is being formulated
• Shedding the obstacles to making an individual strategic contribution
• Creating a subversive organization for optimal results

Randall recently delivered a half-day workshop on this topic to the Association of Briefing Program Managers. President Roxanne McCreery remarked, “The course content was not only instructive and thought-provoking, but extremely valuable in terms of shaping her students’ abilities as strategists in their careers.” One participant said it more simply: “Michelle is awesome!”

An expert contributor to Fast Company magazine, Randall is a management consultant and executive coach whose areas of expertise encompass global leadership development, onboarding, career development, and creating high-performance teams. Her most recent book, Cultural Profit: Vastly Accelerating Bottom Line Results for High Growth Global Companies, focuses on how companies can increase their profitability by growing the cultural agility of every employee in the organization.
