Praise for Strategy and Value
“The most enduring companies are built with purpose and sustained with discipline over decades. Strategy and Value gives leaders rigorous foundations for creating value that lasts.”
— Alex Gorsky, former chairman and CEO, Johnson & Johnson
“There's more data and more noise than ever, and it's easy to lose sight of the fundamentals. Strategy and Value cuts through it and grounds leaders in what builds durable value over the long term.”
— Ed Bastian, CEO, Delta Air Lines
“Strategy and Value provides a practical framework and a powerful reminder that smart choices, disciplined execution, and a long-term orientation drive superior performance and enduring benefits for all stakeholders.”
— Michael Fisher, former CEO, Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center
“Through vivid stories and grounded data, Strategy and Value shows how the two work together and why that connection matters. It is a must-read for anyone seeking to create sustainable, long-term value.”
— Michael Mauboussin, head of Consilient Research for Counterpoint Global, Morgan Stanley
