Mastering strategic leadership : how to convey myth to reality

Abstract

The book Mastering Strategic Leadership: How to Convey Myth to Reality was written along with three other books that are the result of my many years of reflection and research on leadership and strategy. This is not an extensive book. It has been written in the hope that it can be read in a few hours and that the reader will be introduced to the notion of strategic leadership, without lengthy theoretical discussions or too detailed insights into some of the essential aspects of this phenomenon. One may think that shorter books are better because they are achievable. More often than not, a big book will put off most readers because they cannot dedicate the required time to it, as they would rather spend it doing other things. Shorter books also allow people to fit reading into their lives − into that window that is growing increasingly narrower as technology is slowly wiggling into every nook and cranny of our day.
