Middle-market companies don’t lack ambition. What they lack is access to the kind of executive judgment that larger competitors take for granted. In Outmaneuvering Goliath, Paul Theisen shows middle-market leaders how to close that gap without hiring a full-time executive they don’t yet need.
Drawing on nearly three decades as a three-time CIO and founder of a leading fractional executive services firm, Paul reveals why AI is raising the premium on leadership rather than replacing it. He also explains why the middle-market’s flat structure can be a hidden competitive strength.
Inside, readers will discover:
- Why “good enough” leadership costs more than the right leader ever will
- How the Pyramid of Chaos explains why smart teams keep making bad bets
- The Five Nouns and Four Verbs operating model that any C-suite can apply
- How to evaluate and onboard a fractional executive with confidence
- Why adoption is the true measure of technology ROI
For middle-market leaders ready to compete on wisdom rather than scale, this book delivers the clarity the moment demands.
