About the Book

Playing to Win: How Strategy Really Works by A.G. Lafley, former Chairman, President, and CEO of Procter & Gamble, and strategy scholar Roger L. Martin, is a bestselling and widely respected business book that demystifies what strategy actually means and how leaders can approach it with genuine clarity and rigor. Drawing on Lafley's real-world experience leading one of the world's largest consumer goods companies through a period of major transformation, the book moves past vague mission statements and buzzwords to explain what strategy really requires: making tough, specific choices.

At the heart of the book is a simple but powerful strategic framework built around five interconnected choices every organization must make: what is our winning aspiration, where will we play, how will we win, what capabilities must be in place, and what management systems are required. Rather than treating strategy as a static planning document, Lafley and Martin present it as an integrated cascade of choices that must reinforce one another, illustrated throughout with real, detailed examples from P&G's own strategic transformation under Lafley's leadership.

Widely praised for its clarity and practical rigor, Playing to Win has become required reading in business schools and executive strategy programs, offering leaders at organizations of any size a genuinely usable framework for making the hard strategic choices that determine whether a company truly wins or merely competes.
