The secret behind success is all about strategy. Have you ever been told to “think more strategically?” Figure out what this means from A.G. Lafley, former CEO of Procter & Gamble, and his strategic partner, Roger Martin, in their book, “Playing to Win: How Strategy Really Works.”
While Lafley led Proctor & Gamble, the company doubled its sales, quadrupled its profits, and increased its market value by more than $100 billion in 10 years.
He and Martin state in the book that strategy is based on five crucial choices: a winning aspiration, a place to play, how to win, core capabilities and management systems.
The book is available on Amazon.com for $15.94.
