The brand new grand theory of leadership by Ram Charan . . . The breakthrough book that links know-how—the abilities of folks who know very well what they are really doing— with the personal and psychological traits of the successful leader.

How frequently have you heard someone with a commanding presence deliver a bold vision that turned out to be only rhetoric and hot air? All too often we mistake the looks of leadership for the real thing. Without a doubt, intelligence, vision, and the capability to communicate are essential. But something big is missing: the know-how of running a business—the capability for taking it in the right direction, do the right things, make the right decisions, deliver results, and leave folks and the business enterprise better off than they were before.

For more than four decades, Ram Charan has been learning in the most visceral way the underlying reasons why leaders succeed and fail. As one of the most influential advisers to top management teams of leading companies round the world, he has already established a front-row seat to observe the cause and aftereffect of leadership practices and behaviors.

Ram Charan’s insight in to the real content of leadership provides you with the eight fundamental skills necessary for success in the twenty-first century:

• Positioning (and, when necessary, repositioning) your business by zeroing in on the central idea that meets customer needs and makes money
• Connecting the dots by pinpointing patterns of external change ahead of others
• Shaping the way people interact by leading the social system of your business
• Judging people by addressing the truth of your person
• Molding high-energy, high-powered, high-ego people into a working team of leaders where they equal more than the sum of these parts
• Knowing the destination where you want for taking your business by developing goals that balance what the business enterprise can become using what it can realistically achieve
• Setting laser-sharp priorities that end up being the road map for meeting your goals
• Dealing creatively and positively with societal pressures that exceed the economical value creation activities of your business

Know-How is the missing link of leadership. By showing how the eight know-hows link to, interact with, and reinforce personal and psychological traits, Ram Charan provides a holistic and innovative portrait of successful leaders of the twenty-first century.
