所謂的策略領導者，是指組織的領導者能夠預視組織的未來，並對組織的發展加以規劃與引導。而策略若要能展現成效，管理的過程就顯得相當重要，意即策略的執行本身要進行迴圈式檢核，才能發揮策略的最大功效。而一個領導者除了需具備策略性的思考外，策略的實踐尚需執行能力的搭配，因為規劃好的策略若不能落實在執行面，決策的「達成率」是無法評估的，所以未來領導人才的培育，應重視其策略領導能力的培養。

The so-called strategic leader means that the leader of an organization is able to foresee the future of the organization, plan and guide the development of the organization. However, to make a strategy work, the process of the management becomes very important. That is, the implementation of the strategy should be checked in looping style to maximize the effectiveness of the strategy. However, besides strategic thinking, a leader should own the ability to execute strategies. If a planned strategy can not be achieved in the implementation side, it will be difficult to evaluate the relative “achievement rate” of a strategy. Therefore, when nurturing leaders to be, the educational department should put emphasis upon developing strategic leadership.
