Strategy Quest
by Paul A Sacco
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: Self-Help (Business)

BLURB:
In Strategy Quest: The Executive Guide for Finding Business Opportunities, you will learn how to achieve the strategic mindset necessary to create and decide on the business opportunities that will put you ahead of your competition.
Using the psychology of personality type, you will understand how to make the shift to this growth mindset. In Strategy Quest, you will learn that the strategic mindset is composed of Strategic Intuition and Strategic Thinking. Strategic Intuition creates strategic visions and concepts, while strategic thinking decides if these are genuinely strategic and the right choice for your business.
Strategy Quest uses business examples to show what the strategic mindset is and isn’t. The book also equips you with the tools that you will need for your Strategy Quest and shows you how to overcome the obstacle that you might encounter.

EXCLUSIVE EXCERPT:
It is unfortunate that people interchangeably use the words manager and leader. We see these words as titles; however, they also distinguish functional roles. I apply the term executive to those with roles as both manager and leader. The roles demand different mindsets and participation in different sets of activities. Leaders proactively find opportunities to change the status quo, while managers reactively rely on the status quo.
Harvard Professor John Kotter has long tried to edify business people on the differences between management and leadership. Kotter explained that one of the functional differences is that while leaders set direction, managers plan [and execute][1]. Kotter explains that “Planning is a management process, deductive in nature and designed to produce orderly results, not change. Setting a direction is more inductive. Leaders gather a broad range of data and look for patterns, relationships and linkages that help explain things. What’s more, the direction-setting aspect of leadership does not produce plans; it creates visions and strategies” (3). Kotter’s paper remains widely used in business schools, yet these institutions do not teach their students how to create visions and strategies.
Strategic leadership is about changing the status quo by finding unconventional concepts to achieve a qualitative strategic goal intended to improve the competitive position of a business.
The two different hats that executives must wear require different views on the use of creative intuition. To create visions and concepts, leaders must use strategic intuition. However, to ensure that they meet their objectives, managers must use reliable tactics, and so they avoid proactively imagining ways to change. Since change is risky, the oft-heard mantra of managers is, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” Managers reactively modify a tactic when it either fails to solve a tangible problem or is found to be measurably inefficient or unreliable according to some standard. Often, they benchmark competitors to find the best tactics.
Unfortunately, many executives attempt to find strategic opportunities using this same management approach. Rather than proactively create their own truly strategic opportunities, they wait until a problem with their strategy becomes tangible. They then benchmark the strategies of others or adopt the latest business trends. On the other hand, strategic leaders proactively create new strategic concepts using their strategic intuition.
