Leading with Strategy

Acknowledgments

It takes a village to publish a book, and I'm deeply grateful to everyone who has been part of this journey.

To my publishing editor, Brian Neill:  Thank you for seeing the potential and value in this work from the start. And to the incredible Wiley team, Gabriela Mancuso, Sangeetha Suresh, Julie Kerr, and Debra Manette: Thank you for your care, professionalism, and dedication throughout the publishing process.

To Dr. Jeroen Kraaijenbrink:  Thank you for your trust and collaboration. It's a joy to co‐create with someone who brings both rigor and humanity to strategy.

To my family, Chloe and Tolga:  Your belief in me means more than words can say. You are the greatest richness in my life. Every time I had a new idea to explore, you encouraged me to sit down, write, and express myself.  Thank you for your love, patience, and cheerleading through every phase of this project.

To the many leaders I've had the privilege to work with:  You are the visionaries and implementers who inspire me every day. I may have shown up with a framework or a question, but you are the ones who turn insights into action and culture into momentum.

To my LinkedIn community:  Thank you for being a living feedback loop. Your comments, questions, and reflections sharpened this content and shaped it in ways I couldn't have done alone. I'm continually moved by your stories of how these ideas are making a difference in your work and lives.

Thank you all for walking with me on this journey. ...
