ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the key concepts discussed in the preceding chapters of this book. The book explores the issues and demands associated with such global challenges squarely and illuminates what it takes to respond to them effectively. All current and aspiring top strategic leaders should read it – whatever their field, whatever their experience and expertise. The book offers unique value in its dovetailed treatment of strategy and top strategic leadership across the private, political and military sectors in a concise, practical and fresh way. It demonstrates how the multinational, multicultural and multi-sectoral approach can supply the golden thread of effective strategy and strategic leadership; how simple insights can be refined out of complexity. The quickening shift of power and influence from West to East presents a huge challenge to those at the top strategic level whose responsibility it is to manage this shift to the benefit of the international community as a whole.
