Description
Your future success as a leader depends on your ability to extract yourself from operational minutiae and make time for strategic activity. Richard Medcalf, an advisor to some of the world's most accomplished CEOs, reveals the secrets to becoming a more strategic leader.
If you're having trouble getting out of the weeds, you don't need a new tip or trick to boost your productivity. You do need to address four core factors - Tactics, Influence, Mindset and Environment (T.I.M.E.) - because freeing yourself up to work on the most strategic issues is a deeper journey and a personal leadership challenge.
Whereas other books offer up practical tips or psychological insights, this book draws upon extensive work with top executives to offer a complete set of strategies for any busy leader wanting to elevate their focus. Along the way you'll be inspired and entertained with relatable stories of other managers who have been on the journey.
Learn how to:
* get clear on your most important strategic activities
* build a robust plan to quickly free up time
* win over your key stakeholders
* address the specific beliefs that are keeping you stuck in low-level tasks
* create a culture of focus across your entire team or organisation
...and much more.
Making Time for Strategy will radically change how you think about your own path to leadership impact, and give you practical tools and strategies to move you away from incremental progress and closer to breakthrough results - whether you are a CEO, C-Suite executive or other ambitious leader looking to make extraordinary leaps forward.

Person
Richard Medcalf is a trusted advisor to some of the most successful founders and CEOs on the planet. He helps them and their teams reinvent their success formula, so that they multiply their impact and achieve breakthrough results. Top of his year at Oxford University, and subsequently a Partner in a global strategy consultancy and a senior executive at tech giant Cisco, he is the founder of leadership consultancy Xquadrant. Richard has advised the C-Suite for over 25 years, and his clients include businesses ranging from Fortune 50 corporations to some of the world's most exciting hyper growth tech firms. British-born, he's lived in France for over 20 years where he is happily married and the proud father of two. Richard describes himself as 'what you get if you were to put a McKinsey consultant, a slightly unorthodox pastor and an ageing rocker into a blender,' and has an insatiable love for spicy food.
