Hi EAGLs!

For this week, take a look at these articles in the Strategy Formulation & Execution section in the Strategy Library:

• Eliminate Strategic Overload: Values-Based Strategy
• Turning Strategy Into Results

Also, take a look at this article in the Dynamics of Growth section. This is an article written by Ed Hess that makes some astute observations about “smart growth” of our businesses:

• Growth is the Dynamic Confluence of Strategy, Entrepreneurship, and Values

That’s it. No more readings for now, so if you have not had a chance to read the previous assignments, you have a little extra time to do so before our in-person session. I will circle back on each one of these readings while we are in Minnesota, so you will want to have read them ahead of time.

I know that these readings are probably outside of your normal genre of reading materials, but trust me, there is a reason for each one of these I have assigned.

Talk soon!
