Publisher's Summary

When Ram Charan (and Larry Bossidy) published Execution (more than two million copies sold), they saw it as the playbook for both senior and middle managers in "the new game". But now the game has changed. Business leaders find themselves operating in an era of persistent uncertainty moving at an unprecedented rate of change. Now the man Forbes magazine called "alone at the top of his profession...a guru, a corporate sage" returns with a new message for this challenging time.

In The Attacker's Advantage, Charan reveals the upside of uncertainty for those leaders who are nimbly positioned to anticipate the catalysts of disruption and embrace change. He updates and adapts the principles of his previous best sellers to address the current turbulent business environment, cutting through the veil of complexity to concentrate on the new customer needs and expectations and providing the tools for corporate leaders to take their companies to a higher level.

Fantastic book - volume lower than usual

Great book. Looking forward to applying it in business.

Reader did a good job, but for some reason, the book is lower in volume than the other books I've listened to on audible.

Not worth listening to

This book says nothing new, just a rehash of history. Title of book is most provocative thing about it! Put you hand on your wallet, this book isn't worth it.
