Confronting Reality

A fast-lane primer coaches business leaders on how they can succeed in the midst of today's enormous competition and change. After a lucid explanation of the sources of change, the authors explain their business model and teach how to create a business culture that anticipates change and creates effective leaders. Complex principles of today's world economy are condensed into insights that sound intuitive. Bossidy and Ram Charan debunk myths about the rapid changes in the needs of world markets for capital, labor, and leadership talent. They reference multi-nationals, but the advice here can help CEOs leading companies of any size. Free from psychobabble, this is a muscular and intellectual approach that will make listeners smile and make their competitive juices flow. T.W. (c) AudioFile 2005, Portland, Maine
