This is the missing book on strategy. It helps you find better words to communicate your strategy so that you and your team can and make better choices.

Libraries have been filled with books about how to craft a smart strategy. But how do you get your team to embrace it and act on it? Surprisingly few books guide leaders on how to do this. “The PATH to Strategic Impact” fills this glaring gap.

At it’s core is a simple framework with profound results. PATH is an acronym that highlights four fundamental principles that can dramatically boost the effectiveness of your strategy communication. The four principles are: plain and simple, actionable, transformative, and heartfelt

Think of it as a checklist that helps you get your strategy communication right, identify holes in your communication, and even spot weaknesses in your strategy (so that you can fix them).

About the Author

Long Version

Dr. Michael Gerharz helps leaders across the globe find the right words and make a bigger impact.

Michael earned his Ph.D. in Communication Systems during the mobile phone revolution, observing firsthand how brilliant ideas die when people fail or don’t care to communicate them properly. Seeing these missed opportunities, he decided to do something about it, launched his blog, and carved a career path dedicated to mastering and teaching the art of communication.

Today, Michael helps leaders across the globe communicate with irresistible clarity so their ideas can make the impact they deserve. He guides clients to find words they truly believe in about the things they deeply care about, and his insights and strategies have transformed communication practices in numerous organizations, making him a sought-after expert in the field.

His first book, The AHA Effect, is a heartfelt call for audience-focused communication. Too many communicators are in it for the applause rather than the impact. But what use is a great show or fancy wording when it doesn’t change your audience’s mind? The aha effect beats the wow effect every single time, and this book shows you how to achieve and lead your own audiences to insight.

He is also the author of the Leaders Light the Path Manifesto and writes the blog The Art of Communicating, where leaders from around the world access daily thoughts that help them find the right words. His podcast, Irresistible Communication, is listened to in 90+ countries.

A passionate guitarist, Michael works at the intersection of highly structured thinking and the pure joy of creative expression.
