Abstract
What can you do when the pace of change and the unpredictability of events escalate to the point where they can undermine company strategy and the organization designed to deliver that strategy? When even moving to more dynamic conceptualisations of strategizing and organizing doesn't adequately reflect the vital relationship between them in practice?This article argues that the best way of making sense of the relationship between strategizing and organizing is through leadership. The idea that leadership acts as an enabler articulating strategy and organization during times of profound change is explored through the case example of the global pharmaceutical company Eli Lilly, after losing control of the patent on its major drug, Prozac.
