Description: This research is intended to describe the elements that underline and compromise strategic leadership. Having strategic leaders with substantive expertise in the firm's core functions and businesses is important to the effectiveness of a management team. A heterogenic management team is associated positively with innovation and strategic change and may force them to "think outside of the box" (Hitt et al.,2001:493). Key elements of strategic leadership is used to identify weaknesses and strengths within the organisation and explored. The type of effective strategic leadership that results in the successful implementation of strategies is exemplified by developing human capital through training to establish a strategic direction, fostering an effective culture, exploiting core competencies, using effective organisational control systems and establish ethical practices (Hitt et al., 2001: 509).
