Morphology
commandist + strategy
The element 'commandist' is nonstandard in dictionaries but is transparently analyzable as related to 'command' (to order) with an -ist/ideological/person-forming suffix, and 'strategy' clearly denotes an approach or plan. A B1 learner who recognises the root 'command' and the pattern would likely infer a meaning along the lines of an authoritative or directive approach, but the nonce/rare formation and potential nuance (ideological vs. merely directive) make the exact sense somewhat unpredictable.
Etymology
Commandist strategy paints a clear picture: imagine a commander giving orders while everyone follows his plan, with command meaning the orders and strategy meaning the plan. So it means a way of leading where one person 'controls' and gives direct orders, leaving little room for team input.
