Secrets Of The Fine Arts Of Planning And The Missing Link

"If you are looking to draw from the experience of a top flight executive with global responsibilities for one of the best companies for which to work at the time—in the area of effective planning and, even more importantly, thoughts about how to try to get the most from using this vital tool, then this just might be the book for you! It is a book about winning! The author worked directly with Top Management, their key committees and their Boards of Directors on this very issue. He also headed his own top management consulting firm for CEOs for a number of years later in his career and was highly recognized for his contributions in that area. Our author also lectured at the university level and to business and professional groups on a variety of subjects over the years—including to heads of organizations. He also received an award for his work on long term planning. One of the special features of this book is what the author calls "The Missing Link". He has seen so many planning processes that had this key element missing and witnessed the consequences of it. Additionally, he follows through to show the differences between day to day accountabilities and those things that truly qualify as special objectives. The lines are all too often blurred. This is a book rich with experiences and insight as to some of the things that do work and those that can be problematic. If you want to draw upon and contrast what you are doing with what the author has experienced in his many illustrious years in this arena, then this book is for you."
