About this title

Synopsis

Since John Adair, one of the world`s foremost experts in leadership training, introduced the term `strategic leadership` in the 1980s, it has come into universal use. Strategic leaders are generally responsible for large organizations and may influence thousands of people. It is their role to respond to change and external events, establishing a strong organizational structure, allocating resources and communicating strategic vision.

As a strategic leader, your decisions may appear more risky, your actions more visible and achieving results more complex than for organizational managers. In Effective Strategic Leadership John Adair teaches you everything you need to know to enable you to be clear about what you want to achieve and to lead with purpose in order to turn your strategy into reality. Among other things, he shows you how to:

- Judge situations quickly and respond accordingly

- Make decisions based on incomplete information

- Pick the best second-tier leaders to achieve your objectives
