Our paper sheds light on leaders\' strategic contribution in organizations through skills or competencies needed for accomplishing tasks and carrying out the development processes. This era is highly competitive, complicated, challenging, and has unique opportunities as well as threats. Strategic leadership strategies improve the firms\' performance in unstable and unpredictable businesses. Our objective is describing roles of effective strategic leadership because it helps implementation of strategies, which can turn around an organization through attainment of competitive advantage, and converting it into competitiveness and income.
