Good Strategy/Bad Strategy by Richard Rumelt – The Difference and Why It Matters (Business Strategy & Leadership Book)

Good Strategy/Bad Strategy: The Difference and Why It Matters

Most organisations think they have a strategy. Most of them are wrong. In Good Strategy/Bad Strategy, renowned business thinker and UCLA professor Richard Rumelt cuts through the fog of corporate buzzwords and vague mission statements to reveal what strategy actually is — and why so many leaders get it so badly wrong.

Rumelt argues that bad strategy is not simply the absence of good strategy — it is an active force that masquerades as leadership while avoiding the hard choices that real strategy demands. Drawing on decades of research and real-world examples from business, military history, and public policy, he shows what separates strategies that genuinely work from those that merely sound impressive in a boardroom.

Clear, rigorous, and refreshingly direct, Good Strategy/Bad Strategy is one of the most important business books of the past two decades — essential reading for anyone responsible for leading an organisation, a team, or a business.
