There are clearly points of agreement between these two bytes, but there are also points on which the authors' opinions significantly diverge.Discuss here two points where the authors seem to agree, and two points on which they seem to disagree. Be sure to justify your responses, and cite the text to support your assertions.

2) In 'Strategy and the Art of Seduction', Liedtka argues that any strategy is going to be nearly useless if it doesn't 'entice people into sharing an image of the future'. What are your opinions of this assertion? Also, what could your firm/organization do to entice more stakeholders to share a particular vision of the future? As always, don't speak in generalities. Offer a specific set of initiatives that the organization should look into launching in order to increase buy-in amongst those people who will be responsible for implementing a strategy.
