Hi! I'm Michelle, the Manager of Marketing at BookPal and I'm here today

Adverbs of manner

to talk about The Art of Strategic Leadership by Steven Stowell and Stephanie Mead. We're actually going to

be hosting an author signing with Stephanie Mead at the Association of Talent and Development conference in

Denver this Monday May 23rd at 1:30 p.m. at our booth 1393. I've read a lot of leadership books, and what stands out to me about

The Art of Strategic Leadership is how it focuses specifically on the strategic portion of leadership and

basically what being a strategic leader means is to be able to be manage your day to day responsibilities while

also planning and thinking ahead about the future. The way they structure the

book is by telling a business parable and each chapter focuses on a character from the parable and

characteristic of strategic leadership that they exhibit. My favorite chapter, the chapter that

resonated with me the most, was the chapter called The Art of Risk. The reason why it stood out to me is that it's important

to think about about when you're a leader what risks are you taking if any. Because sometimes

not taking a risk is more risky than not actually taking one.

Basically we're living in this fast-paced environment where things are growing rapidly with technology is

changing all the time. You have think, "Am I making the right changes for my business in order

to keep up with industry or am I just staying the same and missing out on opportunities?" So, if you're interested in learning more,

you can check out the book on our website – The Art of Strategic Leadership.
