Know-How: The 8 Skills That Separate People Who Perform from Those Who Don't

Zusatztext

Ram Charan is one of the most famous and sought-after corporate governance consultants in the world. For many, leadership is defined by traits such as charisma, vision, self-confidence, and authority. But if so, why do some executives make ill-conceived, sometimes disastrous decisions for their companies, while other seemingly unremarkable top managers achieve high results day after day and year after year? The key to success is eight business management know-hows. In particular, says Dr. Charan, leaders must achieve unsurpassed mastery in positioning the business in such a way that it is profitable; the ability to identify and bridge critical gaps in the external landscape; the ability to get people to work effectively together, etc. The ideas in this book help create the foundation for a leader to consistently make the right decisions and take the right actions through improved business judgment. But most of all, executives at all levels appreciate the practicality of Ram Charan's recommendations: no fancy bombastic theories that make people scratch their heads and say, "Yes, that's interesting, but what should I do on Monday morning?" For Ram Charan, it is the opportunity to apply his ideas "on Monday morning" that is the main criterion for their correctness. The book is intended for students and teachers of universities, as well as managers of all levels.
