About The Strategic Leader

The Book

The Strategic Leader provides the tools, tactics and levers of change to enable managers and leaders at all levels of the organization to become more strategic in defining the ends they seek, the means they use, and the actions they take to overcome the crucial errors some leaders make in times of ambiguity, complexity, and chaos.

This book exposes the secrets that have worked in the dynamic conditions facing leaders today. it is framed around six habits gleaned from leaders who have successfully answered the following questions.

Do I need to think differently? What is the environment telling me? Where are we going and where do we need to go? How do I position myself and/or my organization, unit/team to take advantage of opportunities presented by the environment? How do I multiply myself though other people? How do I find and turn talent into performance? How do I ignite the soul of followers to achieve greatness beyond what anyone imagined possible? How do I know if we are succeeding? How do we continually adapt to change and maintain profitability and our competitive advantage?
 
The Strategic Leader answers those questions by creating a holistic learning approach to leading.  It accomplishes its objective by describing how strategic leaders use new actions and tactics to create direction, establish alignment and commitment, in order to produce results in a dynamic globalizing world.
