More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
From the John Adair, the man who coined the phrase 'strategic leadership' in the 1980s, comes an inspirational new guide to achieving it.
Book Description
With the rapid trend away from management to business leadership, there is a need for a new, broader understanding of leadership. This clear and authoritative guide answers the questions, 'what is strategic leadership?', 'what makes a person effective as a strategic leader?' and 'how can I develop my abilities as a leader?' The concept of leadership is relevant not only to organisational life but to all of us: everyone has to 'lead' their own life. To be a strategic life-leader means developing a vision and direction for one's life, identifying personal core values and fostering an informal team among colleagues and associates. 'Effective Strategic Leadership' is as important for unstructured careers as it is in large companies or organisations.

"Oh no - not another book on strategy, why on earth did I buy this?" I asked myself when I found my copy a year ago. It had lain unread for a couple of years and I had forgotten about it. However, John Adair is right up there with Peter Drucker as being worth reading if you are a practicing manager. His ideas are insighftul and often implementable, immediately. He makes complicated ideas simple. I read a page of this book most days, and it is nearly always helpful. As well as things to do, Adair reassures the reader on how to think and deal with uncertainty, by giving momorable examples.

Format:Paperback
John Adair taught military history and also served in the Arab Legion which is an elite unit of the arab armies. Knowing the theory and pratice of warfare puts John in a good position to give advice to modern organisations on just what strategy is and how its successful implementation will aid success in a competitive environment. Written in a very readable and engaging style, the book is not just for businesses but also a good read for personal development with discussions on trust, respect and ethical and moral dilemmas
1. Understanding strategic leadership looks at the roots, developement and role of the strategic leader
2. Leading the Way lists the Critical Successful Factors for implementation
3. I am myself my own commander is the final section looks inward at yourself.
An excellent book for any business analyst or high level policy maker
