What You’ll Learn

  • Diagnose the Real Growth Challenge
  • Focus Resources on Coherent Actions
  • Separate Strategy from Aspirational Goals

Richard Rumelt explains why ambitious targets and slogans are not enough to guide a business. Through examples of strategic success and failure, he shows how to diagnose a challenge, choose a guiding approach, and coordinate action. Growing companies can use this framework to make clearer choices about where to compete and how to deploy limited resources.
