Publisher's Summary

Here's the new grand theory of leadership by Ram Charan, in a 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.

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 21st century.
