Summary

Implementing a Successful Strategy for Your Company is an authoritative, insider's perspective on devising, developing, and executing an effective long-term strategy for your company. Featuring chief executive officers representing some of the top companies in the nation, this book provides best practices for implementing your strategy, changing tactics in a difficult marketplace, and innovative budgeting during an economic downturn. These authors discuss how to conduct essential research, determine ambitious yet attainable company goals, and establish the role of employees in achieving those goals. From setting a clear vision to working as a team to instituting future initiatives, these authors explain what it takes to steer your company on a strategy toward success. This book provides valuable insight for those needing to learn which factors have the most impact, and how to leverage those factors for optimum results-in spite of the unfavorable state of the current economy. Underlining a company's need to be agile, adaptable, and forward-thinking in this increasingly competitive business climate, the authors demonstrate what kind of role the CEO needs to play as the strategy he or she has formulated is carried out. The different niches presented and the breadth of perspectives represented enable readers to get inside some of the leading executive minds of today, as these insiders offer up their thoughts around the keys to implementing a proactive strategy that catapults your company far above the rest.

Inside the Minds provides readers with proven business intelligence from C-Level executives (Chairman, CEO, CFO, CMO, Partner) from the world's most respected companies nationwide, rather than third-party accounts from unknown authors and analysts. Each chapter is comparable to an essay/thought leadership piece and is a future-oriented look at where an industry, profession or topic is headed and the most important issues for the future. Through an exhaustive selection process, each author was hand-picked by the Inside the Minds editorial board to author a chapter for this book.
