* learn from the gurus how to develop your strategic thinking *
* review your grasp of contemporary management thinking *
* learn how to change the mindsets, deal with the power holders and encourage dialogue in your organization *
* become confident to work with uncertainty and ambiguity *
* learn how to think and act like an entrepreneur *
Strategic thinkers must be sense-makers; they must be custodians of the organizational consciousness.
This book is a must for anyone wanting to excel at framing or reconciling the inherent contradictions that arise when formulating strategy; or for anyone needing to master the strategic thinking process.
As well as summarizing the gospels of management gurus, The Influential Strategist dispels the myths of strategic thinking. It identifies the ideas encapsulated in a universal set of organizational paradoxes, creating the map that will lead you to a breakthrough in contemporary strategic thinking.
You will gain a deep understanding of how a paradoxical statement can be used to frame arguments; and learn how to harness the resulting tension within an organization, to promote new thinking and drive growth and success.
The Influential Strategist will challenge you; it will confront many of the ‘truths’ of contemporary management thinking, and it will lead you towards a mastery of strategic thinking.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.

You shall send back the goods or hand them over to Book Broker, Berlin, Germany, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
