I love it when a guest from the past makes a return visit to the podcast. That’s a pretty good indication they brought plenty of value the first time around.
Today’s featured author is just such a guest! His name is Dr. Chuck Bamford, and he first appeared back in July 2015.
His new book, out now, is an updated second edition of the book we first discussed several years ago.
It’s called The Strategy Mindset 2.0: A Practical Guide to the Design and Implementation of Strategy.
Dr. Bamford’s book will help you create a strategy plan that works, gain a true competitive advantage, structure your organization to align with your strategy and lots more.
If you struggle with understanding or implementing your organization’s strategy, then this book is for you!
