The Strategic Leader's Roadmap provides an essential playbook for
combining business strategy with great leadership.--William P. Lauder,
Executive Chairman, The Estée Lauder Companies Inc.
In The Strategic Leader's Roadmap, Updated and Revised Edition: 6
Steps for Integrating Leadership and Strategy, Wharton management
professors Harbir Singh and Michael Useem offer a six-point checklist
for today's leaders to follow. They explain how leading strategically
will help managers strengthen their capacity to develop strategy and to
lead its execution.
Drawing on one-on-one interviews with CEOs, in-depth research, and their
experience teaching today's executives and tomorrow's leaders, Singh and
Useem take readers into the offices--and mindsets--of some of today's
foremost strategic leaders.
In this fully updated and revised edition, Singh and Useem explore:
- How Indra Nooyi rose to become CEO of PepsiCo and led its successful
strategic redirection;
- How Jack Ma consistently pivoted and outflanked competition to
position Alibaba to become a global behemoth;
- How John Chambers, executive chairman of Cisco Systems, changed his
and other company leaders' leadership to stay ahead of disruption;
- How Lawrence Culp Jr., the CEO of Danaher from 2001 to 2014 and later
General Electric, increased the market value of Danaher more than
four-fold compared to the S&P 500.
Fast-reading and actionable,
The Strategic Leader's Roadmap will enable leaders at all levels to
master the abilities necessary to keep their companies ahead of the
competition.
