A practical framework for leading through disruption with clarity and confidence
Traditional strategic plans often collapse when confronted by AI disruption, market shifts, and geopolitical upheaval. In The Map Vs. the Terrain: A Leader's Field Guide to Navigating Uncertainty, Bill Fournet, founder and CEO of The Persimmon Group and executive coach to over 30 C-suite leaders, draws on decades of real-world consulting experience to deliver a pragmatic approach to leading through the unknown.
Rather than relying on outdated military models or academic theory, Fournet provides a framework built from guiding Fortune 5000 companies, financial institutions, and major public-sector agencies through significant change. The book tackles the emotional toll of disruption, including burnout and decision fatigue, while equipping leaders with tools to build resilient teams and turn uncertainty into competitive advantage.
Readers will also find:
- Powerful real-world stories from decades of consulting at organizations including AT&T, IBM, and MTV Networks
- A fundamental leadership mindset shift from attempting to control the path to skillfully moving through unknown territory
- Pragmatic advice and tools for addressing the burnout and decision fatigue that accompany sustained organizational disruption
- Strategies for building resilient teams that adapt and thrive rather than freeze during periods of intense change
- A framework for transforming uncertainty into competitive advantage through clarity, agility, and confident decision-making
Designed for executives, senior managers, and organizational leaders responsible for guiding teams through complex transformation, The Map Vs. the Terrain provides the mindset and practical tools needed to navigate disruption without sacrificing team resilience or strategic clarity.
