Back Cover Copy

The revised 10th Anniversary edition of the management classic'In an innovation-driven industry, achieving 'high alignment and high autonomy' allows everyone to grow to their maximum and achieve the most. Top-down instruction stifles the curiosity, passion and insights of hard-working scientists. However, armed with a clear intent – the 'what' and 'why' – they can be inspired and empowered to bring the 'how' that will achieve the greatest benefits.'Clive Wood, SVP, Global Discovery Research, Boehringer Ingelheim'I have never before found a book that provides members of an extended global leadership team with practical dos and don'ts that move the team, key stakeholders and colleagues in larger forums so powerfully. For five years I have taken this book with me on my vacation and I still find new, exciting and mind provoking details about how to lead global companies. I am a truly convinced practitioner.'Henrik Andersen, Group President and CEO, Vestas Wind Systems A/S'The Art of Action has proved invaluable in creating a common shared understanding of our direction and undoubtedly helped us navigate the stormy waters of Covid-19. The work we have done on leading through intent gave us clarity, resilience and confidence at a time of unexpected turbulence.'Ben Bridge, EVP, Global Business, Airbus Helicopters'I've been applying the principles of The Art of Action since 2013 – a simple, elegant and practical approach to driving alignment and delivering our strategic objectives. Stephen helped us at Shell Energy Retail where we are transforming and growing the business to supply renewable power to households in an extremely competitive environment.'Colin Crooks, VP Renewables & Energy Solutions Europe, Shell
