Know-How: The 8 Skills That Separate People Who Perform from Those Who Don`t

Производитель: "Crown Business Publications"

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. Curious readers can learn more about Know-How: The 8 Skills That Separate People Who Perform from Those Who Don`t in our brief Q&A with author Ram Charan, and sneak a peek at the first chapter, below. -- Daphne Durham ISBN:0307341518
