Story4.5 out of 5 stars 23
Developing and implementing a strategy is the central task of a leader. A good strategy is a specific and coherent response to - and approach for - overcoming the obstacles to progress. A good strategy works by harnessing and applying power where it will have the greatest effect. Yet, Rumelt shows that there has been a growing and unfortunate tendency to equate Mom-and-apple-pie values, fluffy packages of buzzwords, motivational slogans, and financial goals with “strategy”.

How to keep your life on track
I really enjoyed the ideas in this book: A very practical way to apply business management principles to your life. This isn't some sort of cold, driven approach. It is a supportive and ultimately fun way to help you achieve your dreams while caring for your feelings. Her approach helps cut through a lot of emotional clutter.
For these old ears, I wish the reader had left just the tiniest bit more separation between her words. Still a good, enjoyable performance.
