This Thursday, March 12, 2026, 4:00PM to 5:00PM EDT I will be interviewing Dick Albu, President, Albu Consulting LLC
Dick will be sharing the core principles behind his recently released book:
Mastering Strategy Management: Turn Vision into Action to Drive Exceptional Results.
(Please know I read his book in anticipation of this Chat with Matt, and it is well worth getting. Ordering details appear below.)
Strategy Management is a discipline Dick refined over 3 decades leading Albu Consulting. If you are a financial executive facing margin pressure, organizational silos, or stalled growth, this conversation will offer a practical blueprint for turning strategic vision into measurable results.
Drawing on his experience working with private and family-owned businesses, Dick will explain why most strategic plans fail and what leaders must do differently to be successful.
His message is clear: Strategy without execution is useless; Execution without strategy is aimless.
Dick confronts a hard truth: most companies leave enormous value on the table because they fail to execute with discipline and accountability. He challenges leaders to move beyond superficial planning exercises toward a fully engaged planning and execution process that aligns people and priorities with conviction.
This conversation will not be theory; It will be a candid, experience-driven conversation for senior executives who want strategy management to become a core organizational competency.
If your organization struggles with unclear direction, poor alignment, or inconsistent follow-through, this podcast will equip you with the mindset, structure, and leadership behaviors needed to drive exceptional, sustainable performance. You will learn how to transform strategy from an annual event into a dynamic, continuous, and collaborative process that energizes your entire organization.
About Dick Albu’s Book:
Mastering Strategy Management is a collection of over 100 articles and book reviews touching on the art and discipline of strategy management. Rather than a textbook to read cover-to-cover, it is a common-sense and practical reference guide that financial executives can turn to when confronting real-world challenges. The book equips senior executives with the mindset, structure, and leadership behaviors needed to transform strategy into a dynamic, continuous, and collaborative process that drives exceptional performance.
