Understanding preferred leadership styles and the ability to adapt them to various situations are crucial for effective leadership. This book outlines ten pairs of contrasting leadership styles, allowing readers to recognize their own preferences and the strengths and weaknesses of each style. It encourages the development of personalized leadership plans, enhanced by an interactive app, and prompts reflection on practical case scenarios. It's an invaluable resource for corporate practitioners, business students, and aspiring leaders seeking to enhance their leadership agility.

Now in its fourth edition, Strategy Synthesis takes a truly global perspective. Retaining the unique ‘paradox’ approach of the previous editions whereby a series of contrasting viewpoints are provided to invite student and professional discussion and debate, this new edition takes the approach one step further to acknowledge the developmental role which China and India have had in the business world, and includes strategic thinking philosophies from these countries.Unlike many other books on the subject, the philosophy at the heart of Bob de Wit’s Strategy Synthesis text is that an understanding of the topic of strategy can only be gained by grappling with a wider diversity of insights from many prominent thinkers, and the clear recognition that there is no simple answer to the question of what strategy is. This new edition bridges West and East, North and South, with examples, short cases, quotes, and insights from around the globe.

In this book, the fundamental differences of opinion within strategic management are not ignored or smoothed over. The authors carefully guide the students through the many, often conflicting, perspectives in the field of strategy, in order to help them become true stategic thinkers.
