Purpose This paper aims to review the latest management developments across the globe and pinpoint practical implications from cutting-edge research and case studies. Design/methodology/approach This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context. Findings In the view of many analysts, how an organization performs is determined to some extent by strategic thinking. Having leaders with essential traits, behaviors and actions is therefore imperative. The importance of strategic thinking is acknowledged within many companies. Despite this, its development is typically far from smooth. Objectives lack clarity, participation is limited and a narrow range of approaches are evident. Inadequate assessment of programs is an additional impediment. Use of competency models is seen as one way of addressing these problems. Such models have been variously defined but are essentially aimed at ascertaining general and specific skills and attributes needed to perform a job efficiently. Practical implications The paper provides strategic insights and practical thinking that have influenced some of the world’s leading organizations.

Purpose – This paper aims to review the latest management developments across the globe and pinpoint practical implications from cutting-edge research and case studies. Design/methodology/approach – This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context.

Does the best strategic thinking only ever happen round the boardroom table? Preposterous questions. Or so you would think. However, any experienced executive will tell you that many organizations behave in such a way that it seems that their human resource (HR) function acts as a blocker when it comes to strategic development, rather than the enabler that all the textbooks encourage them to be. Practical implications – The paper provides strategic insights and practical thinking that have influenced some of the world’s leading organizations. Originality/value – The briefing saves busy executives and researchers hours of reading time by selecting only the very best, most pertinent information and presenting it in a condensed and easy-to-digest format.

Purpose Reviews the latest management developments across the globe and pinpoints practical implications from cutting-edge research and case studies. Design/methodology/approach This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context. Findings The problem with developing a reputation of being something of an oracle in the business world is that all of a sudden, everyone expects you to pull off the trick of interpreting the future on a daily basis. Like a freak show circus act or one-hit wonder pop singer, people expect you to perform when they see you, and they expect you to perform the thing that made you famous, even if it is the one thing in the world you don’t want to do. And when you fail to deliver on these heightened expectations, you are dismissed as a one trick pony, however good that trick is in the first place.
