\\u201cIf we fast-forward to today, I truly am laser-focused in the scene of leadership and board director areas. It\\u2019s really a way that I view as making the biggest impact relating to strategy, governance, and leadership.\\u201d \\u2014 Mark A. Pfister
\\xa0
\\u201cWe have to understand that strategy is inextricably linked to governance and risk. You can\\u2019t really be good in one and not really focus on the others; they kind of come in this package deal.\\u201d \\u2014 Mark A. Pfister

\\u201cStrategy [can be applied] in such a way that it will change the way that you lead, it will change the way that you govern, [and] it will change your success in many cases in any position you are in your organization.\\u201d \\u2014 Mark A. Pfister
\\xa0
\\u201cI think we\\u2019re in a period where [strategy is] looked at much differently. I think we have to view strategy as a set of guiding principles that generate a desired pattern of integrated decision making.\\u201d \\u2014 Mark A. Pfister
