This from the folks over at 800CEOREAD:

Ram Charan’s insight into the real content of leadership provides you
with the eight fundamental skills needed 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 work together by leading the social system of your business
  • Judging people by getting to the truth of a person
  • Molding high-energy, high-powered, high-ego people into a
    working team of leaders in which they equal more than the sum of their
    parts
  • Knowing the destination where you want to take your business
    by developing goals that balance what the business can become with what
    it can realistically achieve
  • Setting laser-sharp priorities that become the road map for meeting your goals
  • Dealing creatively and positively with societal pressures that go beyond the economic 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.
