Leadership Strategy Planner
Assess your strategic planning strengths, align your department with the organization, build a practical roadmap, and save the result as a PDF.
How to Use This Planner
Work through the four steps below in order, using the navigation bar to move between sections. Plan on 20 to 30 minutes for a first draft. Your answers build automatically into the strategy summary at the end.
- 1. Assess. Rate each statement honestly, from 1 (rarely true) to 5 (consistently true). Your responses generate a radar chart showing your strategic leadership strengths and growth areas.
- 2. Align. Describe your department, planning horizon, and how this plan connects to the broader organizational strategy.
- 3. Build. Define your strategic objectives, then assign each initiative tile to a quarter by dragging it or using the dropdown on the tile, and capture milestones, measures, and your leadership partnership plan.
- 4. Export. Review your complete strategy summary, print a formatted PDF, or send your plan to Burns Leadership Consulting for review.
