Strategic Leader's Roadmap, Revised and Updated Edition

The Strategic Leader's Roadmap provides an essential playbook for combining business strategy with great leadership.--William P. Lauder, Executive Chairman, The Estée Lauder Companies Inc.

In The Strategic Leader's Roadmap, Updated and Revised Edition: 6 Steps for Integrating Leadership and Strategy, Wharton management professors Harbir Singh and Michael Useem offer a six-point checklist for today's leaders to follow. They explain how leading strategically will help managers strengthen their capacity to develop strategy and to lead its execution.

Drawing on one-on-one interviews with CEOs, in-depth research, and their experience teaching today's executives and tomorrow's leaders, Singh and Useem take readers into the offices--and mindsets--of some of today's foremost strategic leaders.

In this fully updated and revised edition, Singh and Useem explore:

• How Indra Nooyi rose to become CEO of PepsiCo and led its successful strategic redirection;
• How Jack Ma consistently pivoted and outflanked competition to position Alibaba to become a global behemoth;
• How John Chambers, executive chairman of Cisco Systems, changed his and other company leaders' leadership to stay ahead of disruption;
• How Lawrence Culp Jr., the CEO of Danaher from 2001 to 2014 and later General Electric, increased the market value of Danaher more than four-fold compared to the S&P 500.
