Publisher's Synopsis
Your future success as a leader depends on your ability to extract yourself from operational minutiae and make time for strategic activity. Richard Medcalf, an advisor to some of the world's most accomplished CEOs, reveals the secrets to becoming a more strategic leader. If you're having trouble getting out of the weeds, you don't need a new tip or trick to boost your productivity. You do need to address four core factors - Tactics, Influence, Mindset and Environment (T.I.M.E.) - because freeing yourself up to work on the most strategic issues is a deeper journey and a personal leadership challenge. Whereas other books offer up practical tips or psychological insights, this book draws upon extensive work with top executives to offer a complete set of strategies for any busy leader wanting to elevate their focus. Along the way you'll be inspired and entertained with relatable stories of other managers who have been on the journey. Making Time for Strategy will radically change how you think about your own path to leadership impact, and give you practical tools and strategies to move you away from incremental progress and closer to breakthrough results - whether you are a CEO, C-Suite executive or other ambitious leader looking to make extraordinary leaps forward.
