Leading with Strategic Thinking reveals what effective
leaders do differently. Eschewing the one-size-fits-all leadership
model, this helpful guide outlines four general leadership types
and demonstrates how each type achieves success - whether
through personal vision, structured process, collaboration, or by
empowering others. The authors identify the actions and skills that
distinguish strategic leadership, drawn from interviews and focus
groups with over three hundred leaders from around the world.
Examples and case studies illustrate these concepts in action, and
the provided reference materials steer readers toward more advanced
information on this important topic.
The disruptive forces of technology and globalization raise new
challenges for leaders. This book is a manual that will help
executives and aspiring leaders harness these forces and address
the two central questions of strategic leadership:
* How do the best leaders develop their strategy?
* How do effective leaders drive strategic change?
Becoming a strategic leader isn't about mimicking an icon.
The most effective leaders seize opportunity in a way that
consciously integrates environmental requirements, stakeholder
expectations, and personal ability. Leading with Strategic
Thinking shows what these leaders do, and gives anyone the
tools to be a more strategic leader.

"Leading with strategic thinking is a fantastic place to start if you have an interest in bettering the way you behave and think (and strategise) as a leader, if you are looking for inspiration for bringing psychological or behavioural ideas to your business, or simply if you're keen to understand more about yourself and where your actions might take you" (B2B Marketing, February 2016)
