Strategic Planning: An Interactive Process for Leaders - Softcover

Strategic planning here is an interactive process in which leaders, managers, and followers create a common goal together. Ebener and Smith, using their years of experience as consultants and teachers, have distilled their knowledge into a simple step-by-step process that can be used in the three types of organizations: business, not-for-profit, and public. The importance of planning and preparation, prioritising needs, communication and accountability in implementation are highlighted.

Dr. Dan R. Ebener has been practicing leadership and developing leaders for churches, businesses, and nonprofits since 1976. He teaches leadership theory, team-building, strategic planning, and servant leadership for the Master of Organisational Leadership program at St. Ambrose University. Fred L. Smith teaches part-time in the MOL program at St. Ambrose and part-time in the College of Business at Augustana College in Rock Island, IL.
