Fortune Magazine has named him “the most influential consultant alive”, Economic Times has tagged him as the “most powerful Global Indian thought leader”, the former Chairman of GE, Jack Welch says he “has the rare ability to distill meaningful from meaningless and transfer it in a quiet, effective way,” while Ivan Seidenberg, the former CEO of Verizon, calls him his “secret weapon.”

Ram Charan, a management & leadership guru, a prolific speaker, a widely read author and a man who has pulled out many companies from some very tight situations, is not a new name in the realm of management and leadership. Widely considered as one of the most influential speakers and business consultants of today, Ram Charan travels across the world talking about leadership, businesses and management, influencing a wide spectrum of audience and impacting the way they go about doing their business. People across the globe have benefitted from his talks as much as they have benefitted from his books.

Ram Charan’s books like “Execution”, “Leadership Pipeline”, “What the CEO wants you to know”, etc. have become best sellers and his works have been translated into half a dozen languages, something not many business books can boast of. Yet, Ram Charan’s popularity stems not from his accolades and achievements, but from his ability to offer actionable insights. The way he communicates without obfuscation and the practicability of what he teaches is what makes the difference.

Management and business advice is often replete with industry jargons and intimidating concepts; concepts and ideas that are meant for the eclectic few and in a language that is understandable only to the initiated. Ram Charan’s talks and writings are far from this convention. Every topic that he talks of is in common parlance, without a motive to confound the listener and with the clear motive of being absolutely ready for application.

For example, Ram Charan’s theory of leadership evaluation that entails mentoring of prospective leaders by existing leaders, in his talks, is followed by a very clear plan including easy actionables. He breaks this whole evaluation process down into time-bound milestones and action points, providing a blue print of the whole mechanism. He goes on to explain how a leader should write down what he or she intends to do with a prospect, within a quarter, and adhere to the goals laid down in the written quarter wise goal, facilitating easy evaluation and assessment of progress. This shows how Ram Charan’s insights on business, management and leadership are always followed by a well defined, practically applicable plan; something that few other business leaders actually do.

There are many special qualities for which Ram Charan is known for, but of all those, it is this quality of speaking and defining clearly what can be done and what should be done, that stands out and endears him to those that really need help. And that’s what every leader should aim at, to reach out to others and differentiate themselves from the rest in order to be the very best!
