- Winning Attitudes: Leaders on the Strategy team face the reality of each situation and as themselves, “What needs to be true for Healogics and my team to succeed in this situation?” The leader then Owns It, deploys the rest of the attributes listed herein, and takes actions to succeed
- Effective Communication: Using professional and context-appropriate written, verbal, and non-verbal communication skills, the Strategy team leader effectively communicates to all audiences, at all levels, inside and outside the organization
- Organization: This role requires dealing with complex projects and relationships. This individual must use effective organization strategies to succeed in the role and be able to manage multiple projects and demands simultaneously
- Analytical and problem-solving skills: Leaders on the Strategy team must constantly solve problems with a Winning Attitude. They must therefore be able to independently deploy analytical skills – whether through data analysis or process review – to identify gaps, and develop appropriate solutions to those gaps. They must also use their professional judgment and experience to fill holes in their factual knowledge with appropriate assumptions, and work to validate those assumptions (adjusting plans where assumptions prove to be invalid).

- Talent Management: Strategy team leaders are rarely individual contributors. Therefore, a successful leader on the Strategy team must be able to fully describe the needs of their team and build high-performing teams. They must then identify, hire, and train effective team members. If appropriate, they must also Speak Up, and quickly and efficiently performance-manage underperforming team members to constantly improve their team. A Strategy team leader will always be accountable for, responsible for, and importantly, evaluated based on the strength and success of their team
- Work across multiple time horizons: With a Winning Attitude, the incumbent must be able to plan for and execute tactical, operational, and strategic initiatives. The situation – both internal and external to the team – and context for each team is different, and may change from time to time, and the Strategy team leader must adapt to that situation and context when planning and executing against these three time horizons
