Neelima Firth has a long background in strategy; starting in biotech and pharmaceuticals, managing small and medium businesses, consulting, and eventually joining the board of the Association of Strategic Planning have led to Neelima becoming greatly experienced in the world of organizational strategy.
In this interview, Neelima speaks about the importance of inclusion within strategy. Rather than a top down approach, it's better to have your employees and team members participate in the planning process as soon as possible to help create a greater buy-in and a goal oriented company culture.
Neelima also speaks to managing growth, change, as well as honesty in regards to understanding and acknowledging where your organization is really at, and using that as a starting point for moving forward.
Learn about her best practices for strategy and leadership. See the full post and transcript here: https://www.smestrategy.net/blog/creating-an-inclusive-strategy-and-onboarding-your-team-interview-with-neelima-firth
