Leadership Through Strategic Planning explores how the world is moving into a new phase termed the Adaptive Age. This age places renewed emphasis on values, meaning-making and self-identity. In order for businesses to survive and thrive in this rapidly changing environment, they need a new kind of leadership and new leaders that take a holistic, pluralistic and multi-cultural approach to business challenges.

Providing new insights and perspectives on leadership and strategic planning, this book offers a working framework for exercising leadership through a revitalized strategic planning function, enabling the organization to orientate to new realities and foster its adaptive capacities for competitive success.

Key issues include:
  • the new realities facing businesses and the implications for leadership
  • adaptive versus technical work
  • the new leadership mindset
  • exercising leadership and performing systemic analyses
  • the new role of the strategic planning function
