You think you have a winning strategy. But do you?Executives are bombarded with bestselling ideas and best practices for achieving competitive advantage, but many of these ideas and practices contradict each other. Should you aim to be big or fast? Should you create a blue ocean, be adaptive, play to win—or forget about a sustainable competitive advantage altogether? In a business environment that is changing faster and becoming more uncertain and complex almost by the day, it’s never been more important—or more difficult—to choose the right approach to strategy.In this book, The Boston Consulting Group’s Martin Reeves, Knut Haanæs, and Janmejaya Sinha offer a proven method to determine the strategy approach that is best for your company. They start by helping you assess your business environment—how unpredictable it is, how much power you have to change it, and how harsh it is—a critical component of getting strategy right. They show how existing strategy approaches sort into five categories—Be Big, Be Fast, Be First, Be the Orchestrator, or simply Be Viable—depending on the extent of predictability, malleability, and harshness. In-depth explanations of each of these approaches will provide critical insight to help you match your approach to strategy to your environment, determine when and how to execute each one, and avoid a potentially fatal mismatch.Addressing your most pressing strategic challenges, you’ll be able to answer questions such as:What replaces planning when the annual cycle is obsolete?When can we—and when should we—shape the game to our advantage?How do we simultaneously implement different strategic approaches for different business units?How do we manage the inherent contradictions in formulating and executing different strategies across multiple businesses and geographies?Until now, no book brings it all together and offers a practical tool for understanding which strategic approach to apply.

We've all had those perfect moments when events that could never be predicted, let alone controlled, remarkably seem to guide us along our path. Carl Jung called this phenomena "synchronicity" - "a collaboration between persons and events that seems to enlist the cooperation of fate." In this book, Joseph Jaworski argues that the right state of mind will make you the kind of person who can enlist the cooperation of fate and take advantage of synchronicity, creating the conditions for "predictable miracles." If you are tired of being the victim of circumstances, this book will teach you to be the kind of person who creates your own circumstances. Jaworski shares the story of his own escape from an inauthentic life and his journey into a world filled with possibility. He maps out the inner path of leadership for those who feel the call to achieve their full potential, using his own life story to teach readers a greater truth. He examines the fundamental shifts of mind that free us to seek out the power of synchronicity. After reading this book, you will discover your own power to help those realities unfold. You will learn to "listen" to realities that want to emerge in this world and acquire the courage to help them be born.

"With almost 3 million copies sold worldwide, this new edition of a leadership classic brings a refreshing perspective on healing our professional and personal relationships. Updated throughout with 25% new material. Over two decades since first being published, Leadership and Self-Deception continues to inspire readers with its central insight-that the key to leadership lies not in what we do but in who we are. This engaging story reveals how, as leaders, we all too often blame others to justify our own self-worth. We fall into this trap of self-deception and self-betrayal which makes us see others as barriers to our own success. The vicious cycle of in-the-box thinking then spreads to those in both our professional and personal lives. So how do we get out? The answer lies in thinking outside the box and not resisting the humanity in the people around us. With over 25% new material, the fourth edition is the biggest revamp yet and features: A second, younger, female protagonist relevant for a broader and more diverse audience; Updated stories and perspectives with the removal of outdated examples; Individual and group study guides with guided discussion questions; And practical advice for applying these lessons on a personal, team, and organization-wide level. Learn how this time-tested story has helped millions of people and thousands of organizations achieve less objectifying and more compassionate results"--
