Do I break the strategy chain?

When a strategy isn’t working, an individual likes to look at others and point out what they are doing wrong. But it might actually be a good idea to start asking yourself some tough questions. Here’s a list with questions I believe every good manager should ask him/herself:

1.Do I understand the overall strategy?
2.Do I understand the objectives defined on the organisational level above you?
3.Do I communicate the strategy to my team / stakeholders?
4.Do I visualise the link between lower – and higher level objectives?
5.Do I take responsibility to align objectives across hierarchical levels?
