Free Audiobook summary of the book Good Strategy, Bad Strategy by Richard P. Rumelt.
Strategy is the craft of figuring out which purposes are both worth pursuing and capable of being accomplished.
Good and Bad Strategy
Strategy is the application of strength against weakness.
Strategy creates new strengths through subtle shifts in viewpoint.

They spread resources to placate internal interests rather than concentrate resources to focus on pivot points.
Creating a good strategy means saying no to a variety of interests.
