More about the book

The book 'Strategists and Strategy' emerges from observations of strategy conceptualization at various management levels. The author highlights the reluctance and hesitancy of management in strategizing, emphasizing the often-overlooked human aspects that play a crucial role. Key elements for practical and successful strategy include progressive thinking, careful deliberation in choosing options, and evaluating essential components of vision and strategy. Sensitivity in resource management, a positive and optimistic approach, structured thinking, and process evaluation are vital for effective execution.
