In direct, economical prose, they detail and promote the merits of long-term business thinking, planning and strategizing. The authors explain how to structure and fulfill long-term strategy, and they outline the steps CEOs should prioritize to achieve far-reaching value. getAbstract recommends their commonsense, innovative manual to executives who want to escape the destructive frenzy of short-term thinking so they can lead their organizations to growth and sustained profitability.
