Toward the Emerging Roles of the Resilient Strategic Manager

Abstract

The global business landscape is dynamic and in constant flux, which forces organization managers to face increasing challenges in setting long-term organizational goals and objectives to maintain “the” competitiveness and value of their organizations. Today's executives require a variety of competencies to succeed in their roles as resilient strategic visionaries, yet the literature on modern strategic leadership is scant when it comes to defining what these roles include. As a result, this chapter postulates five key roles that define the resilient strategic managers and explores the requirements and challenges of these roles.
