Too much strategy teaching remains focused on tools detached from the realities of leadership. This book restores that connection. It reconceptualises strategic planning as an adaptive leadership intervention and provides a clear structure for developing this capability in intact top management teams. It will be of lasting value to educators and scholars of strategic management.

Designing effective learning interventions for top management teams is notoriously difficult. This book offers a clear and credible response. Its treatment of educational design, consulting practice, and collective leadership development is systematic, evidence-informed, and intellectually serious. It will quickly become a reference point for advanced courses in strategy and leadership.
Chidiebere Ogbonnaya, Professor in Human Resource Management at Kings Business School, Kings College London, UK.
This book addresses a persistent blind spot in strategy education: the tendency to treat strategic leadership as an individual competence rather than a collective capability. By placing the top management team at the centre of analysis and development, the authors offer a framework that is conceptually rigorous, pedagogically sound, and highly relevant for graduate and executive education.
