Michael Chavez says vertical leadership is dead. He tells Ben

Walker why business needs integrated, executable plans for a

a result, the project morphed into our helping them launch and run a
joint venture. It was much more effective, much more relevant, much
more about execution and much more about the need for their full
leadership teams engagement.
That was in the early 1990s, when Chavez says, it had already become
a clich that consultants often gave you strategies but didnt care
about execution.
I was aware of that, he adds, and it bugged me. I realized that
strategy without leadership was just an idea that never comes to
fruition. And leadership without strategy isnt all that great either,
because you have no direction. In that conference room in Mexico it
was an aha moment: you cant separate the social part of the
leadership from the analytical part of the strategy.
Decades later, after a great career in consultancy, which included spells
at internationally renowned brands like Coca-Cola and the Los Angeles
Times, Chavez brought his passion for aligning strategy and execution
to executive education at Duke Corporate Education. After almost ten
years with the organization, he was promoted to the very top, taking the
reins as its chief executive on 1 July.
As chief executive, he aims to continue the impressive work of outgoing
premier Mike Canning, who has kept Duke CE as a clear leader in
corporate education: ranked consistently in the top three for 16 years.
Central to both Chavezs and Cannings strategy is that Duke CE must
facilitate for the future creating leadership excellence for what is yet

to come. While no-one knows precisely whats next, there is one thing
of which most analysts are sure. Hierarchies, as we once knew them,

companies that think of strategy and execution as separate concepts,
says Chavez, and we know where that leads. It leads nowhere.
Duke CE is and will be the place to come for companies that want to
break out of the old strictures and prepare their teams with the tools to
lead their companies to success in the 21st century.

says Chavez. The new tools are purpose, values and vision. Strategy, I
think, is somewhere in the middle.
