SPOTLIGHT: Looking Beyond Past Successes With Ram Charan

Ram Charan, business advisor and author, introduces a new
leadership thinking approach to help executives exploit shifts in
their business landscapes. In the book “The Phoenix Encounter
Method,” he and his co-authors — Ian Woodward, V. “Paddy”
Padmanabhan and Sameer Hasija — offer a methodology to use change
as a catalyst for transformation. According to Charan, leaders
can adopt this new mental frame by: developing a nuanced
understanding of their operating environments; pressure-testing
options for legacy business and innovation; and leveraging new
competencies and emerging technologies for business growth.
