The need for excellence in business leadership has never been more critical than it is today. Yet the rate of leadership failures is at an all-time high. According to Nat Stoddard, chairman of Crenshaw Associates and author of The Right Leader: Selecting Executives Who Fit, “One of the saddest aspects of these leadership failures is that few have much to do with the individuals’ competence.” In The Right Leader, Stoddard reveals a revolutionary new model for selecting and transitioning top-level executives; delineating the specific steps needed to successfully select executives possessing the needed skills and experiences while also being a good fit with the organization’s culture. With The Right Leader as a guide, companies will be able to reduce the risks of leadership failures and ensure their new executives have the abilities, personalities, and energy that match the business needs of the organization, and whose character and style fit the company’s cultures.

Nathan only selects titles that meet a stringent set of StrategyDriven requirements. First, the title must be aligned with the StrategyDriven mission of delivering best practice solutions to small- and medium-sized businesses, including strategic planning, decision making, leadership, management, and organizational performance. Secondly, the authors must be highly respected in their field of study.

StrategyDriven author interviews are uniquely different than the average book review. The primary difference, these podcasts are not simply book reviews or summaries. Nathan reads each book prior to the interview and questions the author for a deeper understanding of the important strategies discussed in the book and probes for examples of real-world implementation of those strategies. As a result, listeners get more information, including, author advice not contained within the book; offering additional value listeners can incorporate into their business model. Additionally, StrategyDriven interview articles contain quick links to supplementary materials provided by the author.
