This book examines the impact of strategic leadership and organizational ambidexterity skills on the strategic agility of a particular organization in four parts. In the first part, the concept of ambidexterity is discussed and the issue of organizational ambidexterity is explained with its dimensions. Exploratory and beneficiary innovation abilities as well as adaptability and alignment are examined as sub-dimensions. In the second part, the concept of strategic leadership is expanded upon, first conceptually and then across five dimensions: managerial strategic leadership, transformational strategic leadership, political strategic leadership, communicative strategic leadership, and ethical strategic leadership. The third part focuses on strategic agility. The beginning of the concept of agility, organizational agility, and the importance of agility are explained across the dimensions of competence, flexibility, responsiveness, and speed. The fourth part focuses on field study, and the results are evaluated by analyzing the data obtained from surveys of managers of large and medium-sized enterprises.

This book would be a valuable read for academics, bachelor, and graduate students in managerial sciences and business leaders.
