How Strategic Leadership Can Maximize Results for Your Business
New book from international thought leaders offers essential insights on generating value from business strategies
Austin, Texas [Feb. 22, 2022] – Every executive acknowledges the importance of having a business strategy, but when it comes to creating and implementing a strategy for their organization, the “how” and “what” of strategic planning becomes elusive. In Optimizing Strategy for Results: A Structured Approach to Make Your Business Come Alive (An Inc. Original, Feb. 22, 2022), strategic planning experts Dr. Timothy Waema, Ron Price, and Dr. Evans Baiya give leaders the tools, processes, and step-by-step instructions to fully optimize their businesses.
“It is not often one comes across any book that successfully combines principles, practices, and people,” said Padraig Berry, managing director of TTI Success Insights Ireland Limited. “All three are required for success in any domain, and here the authors show how to effectively align them for results in an ever-changing world. A handbook for anyone who wants to develop and implement strategy that works.”
Readers will learn to:
- Establish a proven framework for creating a strategy that can be dynamic and responsive;
- Address the importance of creating a culture aligned to create and execute on this strategy; and
- Align the diversities of people’s talent, skills, and passions as a key component of leveraging their strengths throughout the strategy continuum.
“We care deeply about helping leaders and organizations improve how they prepare for, create, and optimize strategy,” the authors said. “We have written with the leader, facilitator, and passionate student of strategy in mind. More specifically, we believe this book will deliver valuable insights if you are a strategy practitioner who is not content with your current level of expertise.”
The authors believe that strategy is a process, not an event. When it is done well, strategy includes great preparation over time, vigorous debate about what should and should not be a part of the strategy commitment, meticulous planning, ongoing focus, regular review, meaningful evaluation, and learning. Optimizing Strategy for Results will teach readers how to prepare for, create, and optimize strategy to achieve results.
