Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Hi, I'm Jeremy Kourdi, a writer, executive coach and consultant. I've written 27 books translated into 16 languages and much of my writing is co-authored with leading experts and good friends. I also enjoy working as a publisher and ghost-writer, helping people share their wisdom and insights with a wider audience.

I was formerly Senior Vice-President with The Economist Group and during my career I've been fortunate to have worked closely with market-leading organisations worldwide, as well as business schools, publishers and talented executives.

I have a Masters Degree in International Relations and I enjoy writing and speaking about business, leadership, politics and economics. Topics typically include, for example, 21st century leadership skills, future thinking, current challenges in international relations, succeeding with business strategy, the rules of innovation, the truths about talent, and essential coaching skills.

A very good general overview of strategy. If you have a lot of experience in strategic thinking and strategic planning, this is a nice refresher and reminder about the fundamentals. If you do not have a lot of experience this is a wonderful book to help you better understand business strategy. I would consider this a very good book for learning about strategy.

Many good points and coverage of the entire concept. Makes me want to learn even more about business strategy. But not an enjoyable read. Felt like reading somebody’s flashcards.

This should be read by anyone who cares about where their company is headed. many of the points seem like common sense but many companies also don't follow them.

The Economist consistently puts out nice practical guides on several subjects, many relating to business. This is not meant to be the last word on business strategy. However, it is a nice practical overview on how to approach strategy from an organizational perspective.

This is a very good book about strategy - it provides a succinct and easy-to-read book on the subject, and provides good examples to help illustrate ideas. I thought it was very well structured, and considers strategy from many different vantage points - for example, the book starts off with outlining different approaches and viewpoints to strategy such as 'the administrator', 'visionary thinker', etc. I would recommend it to anyone who wants a solid foundation in business strategy - I work as a senior project manager and wanted to get a good view on strategy because I like to understand the big picture - it gave me some good insight into the topic. Recommended.
