Abstract

Effective managers learn to function in ways that bridge the gap between short-term demands and long-term direction. They stay receptive to ideas and opportunities whose relationship to strategic goals may appear murky at first. They adopt possibilities and reject others; those that survive become the building blocks of their vision for the company. Taking time to step back, measure progress, and reassess goals helps them stay on course--or, if necessary, shift course.
