Book Abstract
MAIN IDEA
“Know-How” is defined as what separates leaders who deliver results from those who don’t.
Know-how generally consists of eight skills which are different and distinct yet when combined and linked can mean a huge difference in ability to deliver real-world results.
“Know-how is about what you must both do and be to lead your business in what is shaping up to be the most challenging business environment in decades. We need leaders who know what they are doing. Change is always with us, but its current magnitude, speed, and depth is unlike what most people have experienced in their lifetimes.”
– Ram Charan

Summary of Know-How(Ram Charan)
1. Positioning
Finding an idea that meets customer needs and makes money
Positioning is the central idea of your business. Leaders with know-how learn how to position and then regularly reposition their enterprises where they can make money. If you don’t get this right, the foundation of your business can fade away into irrelevance.
It’s actually quite easy to determine whether or not you have your positioning right. If people like what your business has to offer and you can sell things at a profit, you’ve probably got things right. If people are confused about what you do and therefore reluctant to buy, you probably have your positioning wrong. Over time, you have to keep adding different things and deleting others to keep your positioning relevant to the changing and evolving marketplace.
Take the example of the newspaper industry:
For many years, the way to make money in this business was simple and straightforward – run as many ads as possible combined with information that people will pay to read.Then along came the Internet and search engines like Google which in effect allowed the customer to personalize their information gathering activities. As more consumers have turned to the Internet for information, the amount of money advertisers have allocated to print rather than electronic media has declined steadily.To respond to these new competitive challenges, newspapers can’t retain their past positioning. Instead, they need to figure out where the new sources of revenue will be, what the new cost structures are likely to be and what they need to do differently to make money. This is difficult because it requires looking at the marketplace in a broader context.
