Know-How: The 8 Skills That Separate People Who Perform
from Those Who Don't
By Ram
Charan
In
Know-How, Ram Charan, coauthor of the bestseller Execution: The Discipline
of Getting Things Done, gives readers a bold new approach to understanding
leadership. Charan suggests that when it comes to choosing our business
leaders, we don't recognize the crucial difference between the appearance of
leadership and the actual ability to run a business. We focus too much on
superficial things, like raw intelligence or a commanding presence, and
don't pay near enough attention to the skills leaders need. In his new book,
Charan identifies the eight skills leaders must develop and refine, and
explains how personal traits factor in. --Daphne Durham
