The Little Book
of Strategy

A cheat sheet for day-to-day leadership — strategies, ways of thinking, and skills to get unstuck.

Strategy isn't one big thing, one giant process. It's an ongoing process of analyzing where you are now, where you want to go, and figuring out a plausible way to get there. This booklet is for when you get stuck. Skim it, find what you need, and get back to the doing.
