-Financial Times

Geoffrey Colvin, editor-at-large, Fortune magazine
"Ram Charan cuts through the fog and "mystique of the leader" with bold, fresh insights into the real substance of business leadership. What is truly pathbreaking is Know-How's integration of the eight skills for running a business with the personal and psychological traits of the successful leader. It is the must-have book if you want to differentiate yourself from the pack."
Bill Conaty, senior vice president, human resources, General Electric
"What Peter Drucker's The Practice of Management and The Effectwe Executive were to the 20th-century industrial age, Ram Charan's Know-How is to the 21st-century global digital knowledge worker age. Brilliant, immensely practical, and comprehensivewith almost self-evident prophetic wisdom. But, as we all know, what is common sense is seldom common practice."
Stephen R. Covey, author of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People and The 8th Habit

Michael J. Critelli, chairman and CEO, Pitney Bowes

James M. Kilts, Centerview Partners, former chairman and CEO of Gillette
"If you believe (as I do) that 'leaders are made,' or more precisely, choose to lead and to develop their skills as leaders, then you will find Ram Charan's very practical book on the eight 'know-hows' that are the foundation for leadership performance and success a very worthwhile read."
A. G. Lafley, chairman and CEO, Procter & Gamble

W. James McNerney Jr., chairman, president, and CEO, The Boeing Company

Ron Meyer, president and COO, Universal Studios

KNOW-HOW
KNOW-HOW
The Substance of Successful Leaders
Know-how is what separates leaders who performwho deliver resultsfrom those who don't. It is the hallmark of people who know what they are doing, those who build long-term intrinsic value and hit short-term targets.
What gets in the way of finding people who can perform is the appearance of leadership. All too often I see people being chosen for leadership jobs on the basis of personal traits and characteristics, such as:
- The seduction of raw intelligence: "He's extremely bright, incisive, and very analytical. I just feel in my gut he can do the job."
- A commanding : "That presentation was awesome. How she ever boiled down all that data onto the PowerPoints is beyond me. She certainly had the committee in the palm of her hand. Mark my words, she's going to the top."
- The power of a bold : "What a picture he painted of where we are going, moving forward."
- The notion of a born leader: "The people in the unit love her. Such a morale builder and motivator!"
Certainly , presence, the ability to communicate, and having a vision are important. But being highly intelligent doesn't mean that a person has the knack for making good business judgments. How many times have you seen people confidently making decisions that turn out to be disastrous? How often have you heard a vision that turned out to be nothing more than rhetoric and hot air?
Personal attributes are just one small slice of the leadership pie, and their value is greatly diminished without know-how, the eight interrelated skills that bring leadership into the realm of profit and loss.
We need leaders who know what they are doing. Change is always with us, but its current magnitude, speed, and depth is unlike what most readers of this book have experienced in their lifetime. A can come from nowhere and grow into a multibillion-dollar business in a few short years, becoming one of the world's most highly valued companies. There are not only huge opportunities but also great pitfalls that can swallow up whole companies and industries. Think for a moment about the challenges Google has presented to companies in the advertising, broadcasting, and publishing industries, to name just a few.
