Böcker av Catherine Z Ach

Creating strategy and team alignment are two of the most important responsibilities leaders have today. Yet most of them never develop the skills required to succeed in this essential aspect of their role. In Building Your Blueprint: The Leader's Playbook for Creating Strategy and Team Alignment, Cathy Ach maps out her four-phase process to help leaders and their teams think and plan more strategically. This book is filled with guidelines and tools designed to enable leaders-at any level in an organization-to set clear, long-term direction for their business and develop an action plan for successful execution. Inspired by twenty-five years of taking clients through her Strategic Blueprint Process, Ach emphasizes the importance of being able to look at one's business from the outside in. To do this effectively, you have to go out on the time horizon at least three to five years and understand what will be happening in the external marketplace. Once you have developed this shared view of the future, you can then work with your team to create a picture of your desired future state, fill in the supporting details, and determine the path to get there. With a completed blueprint, you and your team will be able to: Create a more compelling story.Build the required alignment.Deliver targeted results.
