How Strategy Really Works
Book • 2014

Lafley during his tenure as CEO of Procter & Gamble.
It emphasizes the importance of focusing on where and how to win, using real-life examples from P&G to illustrate how these strategies can be applied across various organizations.
The authors argue that companies must 'play to win' rather than just 'play to play,' highlighting the need for clear strategic goals and selective focus on winning aspirations.
