As the number of projects initiated in both the public and private sectors skyrockets, project management skills have become essential for all leaders and managers. But despite this project boom, the failure rate remains extremely high. Why? Leaders have too many projects and too little visibility into them, and they lack the project implementation competencies necessary to deliver their projects successfully.

Why is it so hard to make lasting changes in our companies, in our communities, and in our own lives? The primary obstacle is a conflict that's built into our brains, say Chip and Dan Heath, authors of the critically acclaimed best seller Made to Stick. Psychologists have discovered that our minds are ruled by two different systems - the rational mind and the emotional mind - that compete for control. The rational mind wants a great beach body; the emotional mind wants that Oreo cookie.

What is it about the top tech product companies such as Amazon, Apple, Google, Netflix, and Tesla that enables their record of consistent innovation? Most people think it's because these companies are somehow able to find and attract a level of talent that makes this innovation possible. But the real advantage these companies have is not so much who they hire, but rather how they enable their people to work together to solve hard problems and create extraordinary products.

Talking to people about your designs might seem like a basic skill, but it can be difficult to do well. In many cases, how you communicate with stakeholders, clients, and other non-designers may be more important than the designs themselves. Because if you can't get their support, your work will never see the light of day - no matter how good it is. This practical guide focuses on principles, tactics, and actionable methods for presenting your designs.

Finally, Strategic Planning is About Doing!
Strategic Doing is easily the most digestible reading (I followed along with the hardcover book) I’ve done on the subject of planning. As a public service leadership practitioner, I have been professionally frustrated with the implantation of complex processes that overwhelm or disconnect staff. The emphasis on analysis and rigorous collection and submission of data and reports has always deflated any momentum to reinvigorate an organization. I think Strategic Doing might be the answer I’ve been looking for in terms of practical application and employer and stakeholder engagement.

Great book on strategy
I have the unique opportunity to read this book and learn directly from one of the authors, Scott Hutchenson, at Purdue University. This book breaks down the concept of strategic doing into 10 steps for agile leadership, and they make it extremely easy to understand. The book is an easy read and can produce exceptional results.

Fantastic Book
I would recommend this book for professionals who want to get things done in any stage of their career. This book is a fantastic example of academia based on practice. It is perhaps one of the first, if not the very first, business book that I have read (I have read many) that focuses on teaching skills with immediate applicability. The authors understand the need for action and the detrimental nature of long, traditional planning cycles. I thought the book was extremely interesting as well as being helpful. The stories told in the book illustrated how strategic doing is accomplished. Great read!
