Publisher's summary

Why read this strategy book?
Understand business from a strategic perspective. Senior executives routinely share and discuss strategy with marketing directors, operations chiefs, and other direct reports. But how much do those managers really understand about strategic thinking, planning, implementation, and measurement? A recent investigation into this question concluded most managers don't understand enough about strategy to be useful. Asked to take a basic strategy exam—a test that any CEO or senior manager should easily ace—a representative sample of U.S. managers from C-level executives to supervisors scored an average of only 23%.

Lack of strategic literacy matters and impacts an organization’s ability to optimally perform. Those who can’t speak the language of business can’t contribute much to a discussion of performance and are unlikely to advance in the hierarchy or reach their full potential.

Does a lack of strategic literacy matter?
From a managers’ point of view, it surely does. Those who can’t speak the language of business can’t contribute much to a discussion of performance and are unlikely to advance in the hierarchy. People don’t tell their bosses that they don’t understand strategy. It’s the usual human reluctance to admit ignorance. In a survey, managers were asked what happens in meetings when people don’t understand strategy. The majority chose answers reflecting that reluctance, such as “Most people don’t ask because they don’t want to appear uninformed in front of their boss or peers.” Don’t let this be you. Read this book and understand Business Strategy.
