Good Strategy, Bad Strategy

Richard Rumelt

Recommended by 1 person on the record.

The bar next to each date shows how long ago it was said: 6d is days, 4yr is years.

There are a million books out there talking about strategy and many are unfortunately a lot of fluff. This is not one of those books. Rumelt breaks down the difference between good and bad strategy, and dives hard into what you should really do. One of my favorite parts of the book is the breakdown of what it means to "focus." Unlike a lot of advice that stops at saying "you need to focus", Rumelt explains *how* you can really focus on the right things.

That little bar

It says how long ago something was said, so you can tell last month from 2014 without doing the arithmetic. Full and green is recent; it drains and cools as the date gets older, and empties completely at about 6 years.

A striped bar means the date itself is an estimate — the source did not carry an exact one. An entry with no date at all gets no bar.
