Ram Charan and Bill Conaty Release New Book: "Talent Masters - Why Smart Leaders Put People Before Numbers"

    TORONTO, ON, November 26, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- This month esteemed leadership speaker Ram Charan and management expert Bill Conaty released their new book Talent Masters - Why Smart Leaders Put People Before Numbers (Crown Business).

If talent is the leading indicator of whether a business is up or down, a success or a failure (and it is) ... do you know how to accurately judge raw human talent? Understand a person's unique combination of traits? Develop that talent? Convert what supposedly are "soft" subjective judgments about people into objective criteria that are as specific, verifiable, and concrete as the contents of a financial statement?

The talent masters do. They put people before numbers for the simple reason that it is talent that delivers the numbers. Success comes from those who are able to extract meaning from events and the forces affecting a business, and are able to look at the world and assess the risks to take and the risks to avoid.

Ram Charan is a highly sought-after business advisor and keynote speaker, famous among senior executives for his uncanny ability to solve their toughest business problems. Bill Conaty, long recognized as a world leader in his field, recently retired as senior vice president for human resources at General Electric, the company consistently ranked as without peer in developing world-class leaders.
