| | When everyone knows and understands the strategy, it gets accomplished. | 
In many organizations strategy is seen as something that gets done by top executives alone, behind closed doors. Unfortunately, what happens behind those closed doors is often less exalted than the rumor mill would suggest. Instead of the high-powered war-rooms believed to be taking place, off-site meetings about strategy are frequently just goal-setting sessions, or analyses of which goals failed to get reached over the last year. They are very rarely detailed planning sessions that leave the participants with the tools and certainty that this year's goals WILL get accomplished.
Even more problematic is the fact that when there are real plans in place, they are almost never shared with or understood by anyone beneath the top executive team. That means that for those who will actually be executing the strategy, it is mysterious, and may only be suggested by a set of sales targets for the quarter or the year and a great deal of pressure from on-high to meet those targets.
When a strategy is really extraordinary, and has within it the necessities that will lead to certain fulfillment, it is most leveraged by teaching it to EVERYONE and measuring its execution through everyone. That way, people know why they're doing what they're doing, how their actions relate to the overall organizational goals, and how they can best serve the strategic aims of the organization. An educated workforce is the best tool to execute a strategy. When great strategy is well-executed the organization makes its goals,whether they are revenue, profit, sales, turnover or stock value.
