Conclusion
This chapter explains several challenges that executives face in attempting to lead their organizations
strategically. Executives must ensure that their organizations have visions, missions, and goals in
place that help move these organizations forward. Measures and referents for assessing performance
must be thoughtfully chosen. Some executives become celebrities, thereby creating certain
advantages and disadvantages for themselves and for their firms. Finally, executives must monitor
the degree of entrepreneurial orientation present within their organizations and make adjustments
when necessary. When executives succeed at leading strategically, an organization has an excellent
chance of success.
