After reading a short description from the Harvard Business Review, it seemed to me as if they were stating the same leadership strategies as the text just in different words. Unfortunately I could not find the full article, but even with the short description I found on google, I can say that in management if you are going to take on the role as a leader you need to have a good vision, a plan and execute the plan to perfection. If you don't have enough knowledge on the situation then your company won't go very far. With GE they had and still have a great vision and the capability to stay atop their market.
Being a leader in any business is like being a leader on any sports team. If you understand how a business is supposed to be run and know where it should be in a few years then its a piece of cake. Now take a sports team and if your the captain/leader you know exactly what your supposed to be doing well in advance. The Walch video has helped me realize how to approach being a leader in a way that I have always been, and thats being a competitor. However I have never really thought of it as being a failure by coming in second place. I basically knew what it took to be a strategic leader but now after watching the movie and reading the text and the brief discription my understanding of how to be the best leader you can be has definately changed. I always knew what it took to be a leader, but not an excellent leader.
