In the next chapter we examine a success story of a transformation to a new environment. As you read, keep in mind how IBM’s success contrasts with Kodak’s failure.

We examine the strategic-thinking narrative of Louis V. Gerstner Jr. and his experience with IBM and its external environment. The IBM case provides a good contrast of the culture of operational thinking with the culture of strategic thinking. The chapter will help you to identify more landmarks of strategy, and it provides another example of writing strategy, which will clarify tactics as an organization’s decentralized adaptation to a more strategic decision.

Looking ahead to Chapter 9, I continue the Lou Gerstner strategic-thinking narrative and explain the X-factor of insights. You’ll see more evidence of the reconfiguration of resources to fit a new and emerging environment.

Looking even further ahead to the final chapter on extra-ordinary leadership, I want to tease you just a bit and mention that I’ve already placed several small pockets of hints to help you distinguish ordinary and extra-ordinary leadership.
