Any CEO's vade mecum

In many ways, I consider The Grand Strategist to be a guide book - a vade mecum. You will not find a smaller but more powerful book on strategy.Mike Davidson is perhaps the best in the line. The book is just about 100 pages long, and can be read in an hour. Based on a few pivotal principles which one can summarize even here (which I won't do and incur Davidson's wrath), the book is presented in the form of a series of meetings that a helpless and desperate new CEO has with a person called THE GRAND STRATEGIST, and how by following those principles he is told to follow, he himself ends up being a grand strategist.Split into four 'major' sections, MISSION, COMPETITION, PERFORMANCE and CHANGE, this book is a must-read for any leader, or anyone who aspires to be one.A most wonderful book.
