Book Reviews of Know-How: The 8 Skills That Separate People Who Perform from Those Who Don't
Book Review: Bo Knows Football - Ram Knows Know-How!
Summary: 4 Stars
Management uber-guru Ram Charan offers a business counterpart to Stephen Covey's "Seven Habits of Highly Effective People" in his book, "Know How." This is an engaging and insightful discussion of eight key skills that comprise business acumen and know how.
"Know How" will be most useful for business executives, especially C-level execs. Nevertheless, those in middle management or those who aspire to a management position cannot help but benefit from the book.
At times, it is tempting to see Charan's recitation as a list of Boy Scout virtues. At other times, it is not easy to discern just how practitioners are to acquire such qualities. Despite his guru and quasi-celeb status, Charan writes in a lucid style that is (relatively) jargon-free.
Reading and heeding "Know How" will turbo-charge your business skill sets.
