I'm in general a fan of the HBR Guide books。 They are a series of short articles based on a theme。 The short articles are written by professors， researchers， and/or industry experts。 They typically have advice， practical frameworks/templates to follow， and real-life examples/case studies。 If you enjoy the HBR Guide series and feel like these business books can apply to your day-to-day， then I think this one is a great one to read。 It was thoughtfully categorized with each section providing frame I'm in general a fan of the HBR Guide books。 They are a series of short articles based on a theme。 The short articles are written by professors， researchers， and/or industry experts。 They typically have advice， practical frameworks/templates to follow， and real-life examples/case studies。 If you enjoy the HBR Guide series and feel like these business books can apply to your day-to-day， then I think this one is a great one to read。 It was thoughtfully categorized with each section providing frameworks on how to think strategically， questions to ask yourself， and real-world examples of putting the frameworks into practice。 While some of the principles or frameworks may seem simple， it is helpful to have them laid out in a framework that you can always go back and reference。 I will definitely be utilizing the research in this book to apply them to decision-making。 。。。more

Achei interessante para avaliar como esse tipo de livro traz reflexões e/ou inspira novas atitudes， mas de um modo geral fiquei com a impressão de que o livro aborda tudo de forma meio rasa e com textos que se “auto comprovam”。Para citar um exemplo， penso que pensamento estratégico implica em reflexões críticas e um certo grau de questionamento de “verdades universais “ ou “lugares comuns”， mas o próprio livro não pratica isso nenhuma vez， na minha opinião。

On the bright side， this book is a series of short articles that vary in usability versus common sense。 Another bright side is this is a very quick read。 On the down side， this book still isn't very good for critical business thinking。 On the bright side， this book is a series of short articles that vary in usability versus common sense。 Another bright side is this is a very quick read。 On the down side， this book still isn't very good for critical business thinking。 。。。more

I didn’t go to business school and my professional development courses in design and Architecture focused more on scoping and completing work over strategy。 There were definitely some great exercises and techniques in this book but for me， regarding design in government tech， only a third of the book seemed relevant。 It’s certainly worth the read and I will keep it around when I need inspiration and to shift my perspective。

A plethora of frameworks and tactics on how to think and act strategically。 Great guide to help someone get out of tunnel vision or a myopic thinking rut。 Typical HBR style， articles curated from various consultants， professors， and in this case， strategists。 Enjoy。

I like the HBR books but this one just didn’t do it for me。 Strategy is a hard thing to write about and this guide proves that for sure。

Like the other HBR book， this one is not extensively organized。 The book does group chapters into sections based on their focuses， but the chapters are not necessarily connected。 Strategic thinking has always been a myth to me。 This book makes the concept of strategies more practical， and the guidances are actionable。 Recommend this as a reference book for periodical reviewing or when things got stuck。

Recently， my boss commented that I should drastically develop my strategic thinking if I intend to successfully move up through the career ladder。 That comment really surprised me。 Let's face it; lawyers being lawyers， we rarely take the liberty to free up our time to strategise our work and prioritise important works。 We glorify our actions even if it means we mostly get our head down and try to complete all works given without understanding the intensity or magnitude of any particular works。We Recently， my boss commented that I should drastically develop my strategic thinking if I intend to successfully move up through the career ladder。 That comment really surprised me。 Let's face it; lawyers being lawyers， we rarely take the liberty to free up our time to strategise our work and prioritise important works。 We glorify our actions even if it means we mostly get our head down and try to complete all works given without understanding the intensity or magnitude of any particular works。Well guess what？ It's completely new ball game for in-house legal counsel as we're required to be an active business partner and advocate for both the legality and commercial perspectives of any given tasks。 Anyways， this is one if the first HBR guide book that I've read and I've throughly enjoyed reading it。 Surprisingly， the contents' is plainly-writing and easily accessible to anyone。 Don't get me wrong， some of the sub-topics are ridiculously obvious and are derived without much thinking。 Nonetheless， I've enjoyed it。 Amongst the best sub-topics includes "Assess and Manage Trade-Offs" and "When the Strategy is Unclear， in Flux or Always Changing"。This should be the go-to book for anyone to everyone regardless of the where they currently stand in their career。 An enjoyable read and one that I'll read again from time to time。 。。。more

Good for quick referenceIf you are looking for a book that will teach you strategic thinking， this isn't a book for you。 However if you are looking for quick reference about strategy development and execution， this guide is valuable。 It includes several chapters from great authors who share good approaches， frameworks， tools and trips。I personally like the section on "Move from Thinking Strategically to Executing the Strategy"。 Good for quick referenceIf you are looking for a book that will teach you strategic thinking， this isn't a book for you。 However if you are looking for quick reference about strategy development and execution， this guide is valuable。 It includes several chapters from great authors who share good approaches， frameworks， tools and trips。I personally like the section on "Move from Thinking Strategically to Executing the Strategy"。 。。。more
