"Businesses now operate in a distinctively new competitive landscape that is rapidly changing and unpredictable due partly to disruptive technologies and chaotic political forces. Because of this unique context, the role of strategists has dramatically changed, making this highly insightful book both timely and critically important. It is a must read for all strategic leaders and strategic management scholars alike."

"Müller-Stewens sees the strategist as leading more than the core strategy development and execution processes. Instead, the strategist should be a member of a company's leadership team which starts from deriving the purpose. This is the fundamental rule upon which the work of strategists needs to be built and animated by the strategic leader."
