“The Leads of Leads are switch hitters. Their day is equal parts tactics and strategy. While they have developed true distance from the day-to-day work, they still know how the work is done and can have an informed opinion about tactics relative to the work. They also have a more complete picture of the state of the company, which enables them to make better decisions and define better strategy. They see the complete game board. They see all the pieces, so they can be credible strategists.”
