Organizations will be successful and effective if their leaders, by adopting the appropriate leadership style and the influence they have on the employees, can motivate them and make their efforts aligned and coherent in order to achieve the goals and excellence of the organization. Therefore, to achieve this, organizations will need leaders with strategic thinking skills, who will develop this skill at the organization level and create a competitive advantage for the organization. In general, the process of strategic leadership starts from within the organization and based on the analysis that the leader makes of the strategic environment and the members of the organization.

In the next step, based on what industry the organization operates in, who are its customers, what are its main capabilities and what products and services it provides, the mission and strategic goals of the organization are formulated. Strategic objectives are the basis for preparing strategies, which can be formulated at organizational levels, work departments, and even at individual and operational levels. Of course, in this context, one of the effective methods is to compare oneself with other colleagues and competitors and model their activities. One of the most difficult stages of the strategic leadership process is the change process, which if implemented correctly and leads to learning, we can hope that the achievement of organizational effectiveness has been achieved.
