Ram Charan's 8 effective sutras for Business Leaders.( Post:002-2011 )

  1. Positioning (and when necessary, repositioning) your business by zeroing in on the central idea that meets customer needs and makes money. (finding a central idea for business that meets customer demands and that makes money.) 
  2. Connecting the dots by pinpointing patterns of external change ahead of others. (detecting patterns in a complex world to put the business on the offensive.) 
  3. Shaping the way people work together by leading the social system of your business. (getting the right people together with the right behaviour and right information to make better, faster decisions and achieve business results.) 
  4. Judging people by getting to the truth of a person.(calibrating people based on their actions, decisions and behaviours and matching them to the non-negotiables of the job.) 
  5. Molding high-energy, high-powered, high-ego people into a working team of leaders in which they equal more than the sum of their parts. (getting highly competent ,high-ego leaders to coordinate seamlessly .) 
  6. Knowing the destination where you want to take your business by developing goals that balance what the business can become with what it can realistically achieve. (determining the set of goals that balances what the business can become with what it can realistically achieve.) 
  7. Setting laser-sharp priorities that become the road map for meeting your goals. (defining the path and aligning resources , actions and energy to accomplish the goals.) 
  8. Dealing creatively and positively with societal pressures that go beyond the economic value creation activities of your business. (anticipating and responding to social pressures you do not control but that can affect your business.
