Strategic planning is not just for executive leadership or the management team. I would go so far to say that the execution of your strategy happens with those employees who are closest to the customer, the product, or the service: The Front-Line Employees! If you believe in this assumption, you should be including them in developing your organization’s strategy. If you want their buy-in, you must get their input. If you want their input, you must first teach them about the business. You can start by teaching them how to set objectives, goals, tactics, and measures.

She was not sure how much bandwidth her fellow employee owners would have for EOM activities, especially since many have school age children who will be home while attending classes remotely this fall.
