You Can't Be a Wimp Make the Tough Calls

摘要

AS ONE OF THE WORLD'S PREEMINENT ADVISERS TO CEOS AND BOARDS, Ram Charan has spent the past 35 years on the road, watching hundreds of executives deal with their toughest challenges. He regularly shares the insights from his experiences in speeches and the classroom and is the author of several best-selling books. (His latest books are Boards That Lead, which he cowrote with Dennis Carey and Michael Useem, and Global Tilt.) He has also published many popular articles, including the HBR classic "Conquering a Culture of Indecision" (April 2001), in which he addresses the problem of organizational paralysis. In this edited interview with HBR senior editor Melinda Merino, he returns to the topic of decisions and talks about what he's learned in three decades of helping executives make them.
