为什么要学习Strategy P.2 Leadership and management are essential to transforming a strategic vision into reality. From the initial strategic thinking required to initiate the process, to dealing with the troubles and resistance of implementation, leaders and managers are involved in every aspect of strategy. The study of strategy and leadership is valuable because it:
·provides an organising tool for leaders to use in dealing with uncertainty and change, both inside and outside of their organisation ·offers a shared language for analysing and communicating the current position of an organisation — its strategic capability and environment — and for choosing, developing and coordinating an optimal strategic direction ·provides a logical process of analysis and evaluation

It is therefore important for CPAs to develop an understanding and knowledge of the value and challenges related to the practices of strategy and leadership so they can contribute to: ·formulation of strategy that utilizes strengths inside the organization and takes more effective advantage of opportunities in the marketplace ·successful leadership, management and implementation of strategy throughout the organisation — particularly in the case of large organisations operating in a number of markets ·recognise the integral role of management and leadership in these processes, as well as understanding their own role in driving and leading aspects of the strategy process
