If you meet the Hi-Po criteria, you're in high demand—and this book explains how to fast-track yourself. Criteria for Hi-Pos are changing markedly. In the past, fast-track leaders were tapped mainly because of their cognitive abilities, analytical skills, imagination, thoroughness in finding solutions and even perfectionist tendencies. In the new climate, other attributes will count more heavily: relationship skills, experience, judgment, abilities to engage, motivate, and draw out the best performance in others, strategic skills and even personal habits and behavior style. Above all, companies see Hi-Pos as people who have the capacity to grow quickly and step into new leadership roles competently. This book is a step by step guide to becoming a high potential leader. This hands-on guidebook contains: • Practical advice and checklists in every chapter for making daily progress toward running a large team, business unit, or company • A framework for deciding when and how to make job changes that speed development • Firsthand examples and lessons learned from top leaders around the world in a variety of industries Reviews "If you are a high-potential leader, or want to become one, this is the book for you." —Laszlo Bock, Senior Advisor and Former SVP of People Operations, Google "In this book, Ram provides practical advice on how high-potential leaders can help their businesses thrive in the digital age, and accelerate their own growth." —Dominic Barton, Global Managing Partner, McKinsey & Company "Ram Charan shows again why he is one of the leading business coaches in the world.
