I like the paradigm of "Promise, Path, and Pressure".

The promise is the ultimate "job to be done" or business goal.

The Path is how you plan to do it: as Jack Welch said, "How do we plan to win in this business?"

The Pressure is often left out in Agile discussions, but it is critical. There needs to be a sense of urgency. There is almost always a finite window of opportunity. Good leadership maintains constant gentle positive and supportive pressure. All those adjectives are important.
