Strategic Clarity: The Practical Method for Transforming Vision Into Results

What if your strategy isn’t broken—your execution is just misaligned?

That’s a big problem, and you need to act fast. But how? After two decades as an executive, professor, and consultant, Kyle J. Harkema delivers your best next moves.

In Strategic Clarity, Harkema shares a new research-backed diagnostic mirror that decodes how your company truly thinks, listens, and acts. Then he gives you the road map you need to get back on track to grow.

As Harkema well knows, strategy lives or dies in an organization’s behaviors. Once you see the patterns of your company with clarity, you can stop talking strategy—and start living it. You’ll find:

• How companies behave under pressure: the five personas

• The fast diagnostic assessment to show where you really stand

• Strategic playbooks that shift orientation so you can grow

• Real case studies that tie alignment to measurable outcomes

Harkema doesn’t bring you theory dressed up as insight. He delivers the right diagnostic tool for these times—so ambitious executives, teams, and organizations can pivot, grow, and win.

Whether you’re leading an enterprise, scaling a start-up, or teaching students about strategy, Harkema’s book will forever change how you look at any organization—and how you can make the smart moves to transform it.

Because in the end, strategy isn’t what gets written down. It’s what gets repeated.
