PREFACE
This book is the product of over 20 years of presenting executive seminars and teaching MBA and Executive MBA courses on Strategic Leadership, Strategic Change, and Strategy Process in the USA, Norway, India, China, and Lithuania. It is meant for the reader to build upon a knowledge of the fundamentals of strategy formulation and analytics. Over the years a number of tools and approaches to strategic leadership and process emerged, as executives and students struggled with the issues of how to choose appropriate theoretical lenses, apply practical models and create advice for strategic leadership in profit-oriented organizations, although most of the ideas in this book are equally applicable to not-for-profit organizations. There are several key questions that lie at the core of this book: • What are the dynamic organizational and environmental tensions that strategic leaders must balance as they strive to realize the vision and overall purpose of their organizations? • What are the generic forms of leadership available to strategic leaders and how do they enable or stymie effective strategic leadership in increasingly turbulent times? • What are the forces driving and the means for balancing individual and collective forms of strategic leadership?
