leaders to do tomorrow?
S.W.O.T. ANALYSIS
STRENGTHS: What do we
do well today? Will our
strengths prepare us for
future success?
WEAKNESSES: What do we do
poorly and why? Can we do
LESS of this? What steps must
we take to either improve or
minimize the risks?
OPPORTUNITIES: What are our greatest opportunities for
growth? Are our strengths aligned to take advantage of
them? Do our weaknesses stand in the way?
THREATS: Where are we vulnerable? Are our biggest threats
external or internal? Market-driven or competition? Lack of
talent or not the right talent?
What leadership model is right for your organization?
