Leadership and Strategic Management : Decision-Making in Times of Change
Managers are facing unprecedented complexity, volatility, and ambiguity, quickly adapting their decision-making, leadership, vision, and strategies.Megatrends and forces of change have profound implications for business models, processes, and organizational structures, calling into question current paradigms and designing future change.Additionally, unprecedented disruptions, unforecastable in their nature, have increased the need for resilience and strategic flexibility. The book aims at tackling the potential interrelations among environmental transformations, strategic decisions, and leadership to better understand the role of external and internal factors on the effectiveness of managers.The book defines “change”: its extent, nature, and characteristics.Then, it focuses on decision-making, the role of potential cognitive biases, and how the interaction with the perception of determined environmental events affects the way in which decision-makers decide to implement specific strategies.Finally, in the light of waves of strategic change, it reviews theories on leadership and transformation by looking at the role and traits of leaders. Since environmental transformations have the potential to “disrupt” not only strategies but also decision-making processes and leadership, the book provides a review on the issue and propose an integrative framework which can be useful for both scholars and managers, especially in the fields of decision-making and strategy.

In these states, the central government holds all decision-making power and delegates limited authority to lower levels of government. Examples of unitary states include France, Japan, and the United Kingdom, where the central government has the final say on most policy matters. This centralized system contrasts with federal states like the U.S. and Germany, where power is shared between the central government and individual states or regions.

How can citizens' councils be equipped with political decision-making authority?
Citizens' councils can be equipped with political decision-making authority by implementing a system of direct democracy, where citizens have the power to directly participate in decision-making processes. This can be achieved through mechanisms such as citizen initiatives, referendums, and participatory budgeting, which allow citizens to propose, vote on, and influence policy decisions. Additionally, citizens' councils can be given formal recognition and support from government institutions, ensuring that their recommendations and decisions are taken into consideration in the political decision-making process. Furthermore, providing citizens' councils with access to resources, information, and expertise can help to enhance their capacity to make informed and effective decisions.

Is cable management relevant in terms of both poor performance and temperatures, etc.?
Yes, cable management is relevant in terms of both poor performance and temperatures. Poor cable management can obstruct airflow within the case, leading to higher temperatures for components such as the CPU and GPU. Additionally, tangled cables can impede proper ventilation and cooling, causing the system to run hotter and potentially reducing its overall performance. Proper cable management can help maintain good airflow, lower temperatures, and ultimately improve the overall performance and longevity of the system.

What is the difference between peak performance and ultimate performance?
Peak performance refers to the highest level of performance that an individual or a system can achieve at a specific point in time. It represents the optimal level of output or efficiency. On the other hand, ultimate performance refers to the absolute highest level of performance that is theoretically possible, without any limitations or constraints. Ultimate performance represents the pinnacle of achievement and is often seen as the ideal or perfect level of performance. While peak performance is attainable and can be sustained for a period of time, ultimate performance may be more aspirational and may not be sustainable in the long term.
