They sense where the opportunities are and how to take advantage of them. And their companies make money consistently, year after year. \u003cbr\u003eHow different is it to run a big company than to sell fruit from a cart or run a small shop in a village? In essence, not very, according to Ram Charan. From his childhood in India, where he worked in his family's shoe shop, to his education at Harvard Business School and his daily work advising many of the world's best CEOs, Ram understands business as few can. \u003cbr\u003eThe best CEOs have a knack for bringing the most complex business down to the fundamentals -- the same fundamentals of the family shoe shop. They have business acumen -- the ability to focus on the basics and make money for the company. \u003cbr\u003e\"\u003cbr\u003eWhat the CEO Wants You to Know captures these insights and explains in clear, simple language how to do what great CEOs do instinctively and persistently: \u003cbr\u003e* Understand the basic building blocks of a business and use them to figure out how your company makes money and operates as a total business. \u003cbr\u003e* Decide what to do, despite the clutter of day-to-day business and the complexity of the real world. \u003cbr\u003eMany people spend more than a hundred thousand dollars on an MBA without learning to pull these pieces of the puzzle together. Many others lack a formal business education and feel shut out from the executive suite. What the CEO Wants You to Know takes the mystery out of business and shows the secrets ofsuccess used by business legends like Jack Welch of GE.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRam Charan\u003c\/b\u003e is the coauthor of the bestsellng \u003ci\u003eExecution and Confronting Reality\u003c\/i\u003e, written with Larry Bossidy, and the author of Know How and ten other books.
