Book I’m Reading
Since Good Strategy Bad Strategy was so good, I decided to check out The Crux. It is even better. Rumelt brings an unparalleled clarity to the strategic planning process. He demystifies strategy, focusing the reader in on the essentials. Defining the “crux” of the challenge(s) that must be solved is the core of all great strategies.
Podcast I’m Listening To
I listen to nearly every episode of The Breakdown with NLW. This one was a banger.
