5 Benefits of Using Leaders Intent

Leader's intent is an approach to leading teams that has gained increased attention recently. It originated in the military but has been spread into business by executive leadership training programs such as the one provided by Thayer at West Point and books like Leader Business by Thomas Henry Magness and Team of Teams by General Stanley McChrystal. The idea of leader intent is simple: instead of leaders attempting to think through every potential outcome and codify every step in a process, they

  • set clear and concise goals and objectives
  • communicate why a goal is important
  • outline guiding principles
  • define key deliverables
  • empower their teams to make decisions and take action to achieve goals


This approach provides great flexibility and innovation, allowing everyone to leverage their strengths and creativity to solve business problems.
