Leadership Levels and Styles
Tactical Leadership
Tactical leadership is concerned with the here and now, with short-term decisions and risk management for immediate gains. [Project leaders - for example leading the development of an online degree program]
Operational Leadership
They are the ones who must lead teams in analyzing and understanding the strategic and tactical realities of the organization. They must craft the supporting infrastructure and framework to allow everyone to move tactically toward the achievement of the organization's strategy through the operational framework of processes, systems, structures, and incentives. [Directors of Online Programs - multiple staff members, multiple programs]
Strategic Leadership
Strategic leadership is concerned with the long-term purpose and goals of an organization, movement, or institution. A strategic leader is vying to create a viable organization that will be capable of functioning in all circumstances, that is resilient and, even better, robust in the face of threats and obstacles. [Deans, Associate Provosts, Provosts]
