I just got used to the idea of not saying “Happy new year” and here it is, February. It’s been fun so far — I returned to teaching in person on campus in our gorgeous new building in Manhattanville. It’s an amazing space with gorgeous views.

My course on growth and change, called Leading Strategic Growth and Change is scheduled to run next May, for a week, in person! Click here for more information.

This month’s on my Thought Sparks

Few business concepts are as muddled as that of strategy.

It defines strategy as the “central, integrated, concept of how you plan to meet your objectives.” Each of these words matters. Have a look at the article for a richer exposition.
