The new grand theory of leadership by Ram Charan ...The breakthrough audiobook that links know-how - the skills of people who know what they are doing - with the personal and psychological traits of the successful leader. How often have you heard someone with a commanding presence deliver a bold vision that turned out to be nothing more than rhetoric and hot air? All too often we mistake the appearance of leadership for the real deal. Without a doubt, intelligence, vision, and the ability to communicate are important. But something big is missing: the know-how of running a business - the capacity to take it in the right direction, do the right things, make the right decisions, deliver results, and leave the people and the business better off than they were before. For well over 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 around the world, he has had a front-row seat to observe the cause and effect of leadership practices and behaviors.… (plus d'informations)

A very nice read. The author attempts to highlight at least 8 critical skills that today's brutal business environment demands of Leaders. Chief among them are the need to look at the big picture, think several steps ahead.

Personal qualities and how they play an important role. Inter-personal skills, people skills in the ability to spot and grow talent. Keeping your ego aside and be receptive and being a team player. Laying down the must have criteria in recruiting people for a position and not compromising and letting personal views and feelings get in the way.

The need for being analytical, looking at the big picture and at the same time have the patience and skills to drill down into the details to resolve issues and conflicts be they people issues of technical issues.

All in all being a well rounded personality. I am sure these traits would not only help a person be a good business leader but also help one lead a fruitful life outside of their work too.

In an era of constant change, there is a crying need for leadership. Although change is a constant, today’s magnitude, speed and depth, is unlike previous renditions. Multibillion dollar businesses emerge from nowhere. Highly-valued institutions and organizations are rendered impotent over-night.

Yet, many cling to choosing future leaders on the basis of superficial personal traits and characteristics. How many times have you heard an anointed future leader described as “intelligent,” “a commanding presence,” “a great communicator,” “having a bold vision,” or “a born leader?”

Ram Charan, a consultant with a Harvard Business School MBA and doctorate, has identified, eight skills – he calls them “know-hows” – essential for leadership success:

1. Positioning and Repositioning. The ability to find an idea for the organization that meets customers’ demands and makes money.
2. Pinpointing External Change. The ability to identify patterns that place the organization on the offensive.
3. Leading the Social System. The ability to get the right people with the right behaviors and the right information to make better decisions and business results.
4. Judging People. The ability to calibrate people based on their actions, decisions and behaviors and matches them to the job’s non-negotiables.
5. Molding a Team. The ability to coordinate competent, high-ego leaders.
6. Setting Goals. The ability to balance goals that give equal weighting to what the business can become and what it can achieve.
7. Setting Priorities. The ability to define a path and direct resources, actions, and energy to accomplish goals.
8. Dealing with Forces beyond the Market. The ability to deal with pressures you cannot control but affect your business.

Citing case studies from his consulting practice, Charan identifies personal traits of leaders that help or interfere with the know-hows.

1. Ambition. The drive to accomplish something but not win at all costs.
2. Tenacity. The drive to search, persist and follow through, but not too long.
3. Self-confidence. The drive to overcome the fear of failure and response, or the need to be liked and use power judiciously but not become arrogant and narcissistic.
4. Psychological Openness. The ability to be receptive to new and different ideas but not shut other people down.
5. Realism. The ability to see what can be accomplished and not gloss over problems or assume the worst.
6. Appetite for Learning. The ability to grown and improve know-hows and not repeat the same mistakes.

Charan reduces the concept of business leadership to essential qualities. Know-How is readable and insightful. By linking personal attributes and business success, he delivers a vital message to a society starving for true leadership.
