Strategy-Driven Leadership: The Playbook for Developing Your Next Generation of Leaders

There are many effective ideas and actions that are currently embedded in leadership programs, but they miss the critical element of tying their efforts to the business strategy. Strategy-Driven Leadership changes the way organizations think about and drive their leadership talent initiatives among their current and upcoming leaders.

The authors' method "retools" prior leadership efforts – the emphasis is not on previous failures and restarting with new programs. The book is filled with research, science-based information, case studies, and practical hands-on tools on why and how this Strategy-Driven Leadership Development model will transform company leadership approaches.
