Books 2013. What did I read last year?

Last year I published 20 Books I Read in 2012. I don’t want to change the tradition here either.

1. Ram Charan with the participation of Gary Willigan “KNOW-HOW, 8 skills you need to have to achieve results in business.”

An excellent book with many real business examples from corporations such as Apple, Google, Procter & Gamble, General Motors, General Electric, Intel and many more.

Some of my favorite quotes: “The best employees are constantly working on themselves, and the only way to help them is to provide feedback and mentoring”, “You need to improve your ability to understand people by devoting time and effort every day”, “There is no such concept as an ideal leader for all times and for all occasions.

Here are the 8 skills:

• Positioning and repositioning.
• Management of the social system.
• Identification of changes in the external environment.
• People evaluation.
• Creation of a management team.
• Goal setting.
• Prioritization.
• Interaction with extra-market forces.
