A New Approach To Strategic Leadership ( Zealous Youth Club)

A traditional preoccupation with the immediate and short term on the part of club leader has recently given way to recognition of the need for, importance of, strategic leadership. However, we always expressed a number of concerns about recent thinking on strategic leadership during a "storm" ( arguement between members) . Therefore, we must focus on the view of club vision and improvement planning that are sufficient and will deliver club improvement. Over-reliance on short-term , spontaneous approaches to attract members among teens is in fact symptomatic to make connection with them. Vision is not enough. Strategic leadership is the simple but profound realization that difficult if not impossible to act strategically in publicity.

An emphasis placed on a learning centred and leaner-centred approach that focuses on the core of technology, organising events, commuciaton skills and managent of club is important. We have many stimulation for the necessity for longer time horizons ( beyond three and five years) and shorter-term strategic flexibility. Consistency portrays a view of strategy that takes account of the tradisional organizations fallibilities and at same time offers a design for successful club. Our perspective of strategic leadership highlights the cultural in shaping strategy and leadership.
If stragetic thinking is to engage with the concept of club objective aimed for teens, then it is essential to distinguish the various organizational elements that comprise the club. The following elements are identified :

. learning processes and experinces
. teaching appoaches and strategies
. technology, especially Power Point ( computers )
. organization structures
. human resources
. finicial resources
. leadership and organisation culture

The above list may not be comprehensive, but it includes the most important elements. While they are presented seperately, in reality, just as in any system, they are functionally interdependent.
