Strategy Maps is a classic on on strategy and execution, but they’re brilliant in their application in identifying strategy, linking strategy to middle management, linking down the in the individual worker, and then measuring performance for the company, departments, and individuals. Combined with Balanced Scorecard and The Strategy-Focused Organization, these books are like the last leg of a relay race with the previous legs in a Track and Field relay race, following all previous subject areas.

A really fascinating read - some chapters were easier to get through than others, but I really loved all the case studies and examples throughout. ( )
