Features: "CEO Say" provides such profound insights, explaining in concise language how to consciously and persistently achieve the following as great CEOs do: Understand the basic elements of business activities, leverage these elements to make the company operate cohesively and profit. Determine work goals rather than being overwhelmed by a large number of daily activities and the complexities of the real world. Many people are willing to spend $100,000 to obtain an MBA degree but don't know how to assemble those basic business elements like a puzzle. There are also some people who lack formal business education and thus find management positions unattainable. "CEO Say" lifts the veil of mystery from business activities and presents the success secrets of legendary figures like Jack Welch to you. The universal laws of business success—whether selling fruit on the street or running a Fortune 500 company—must be followed. Have you noticed that the business acumen of top-tier CEOs seems no different from that of a street vendor. These CEOs can sense opportunities and leverage them, and the companies they run profit year after year. What's the difference between running a large enterprise, selling fruit with a cart, or opening a small store in the countryside? In Dr. Ram Charan's view, there's not much difference. He worked in his family's shoe store in India from a young age, studied at Harvard Business School, and later made a career of consulting the world's best CEOs. Few people understand the laws of business operations as well as he does. Excellent CEOs master the skill of breaking down complex businesses into basic elements, which are also the foundation for running a family shoe store. CEOs possess business acumen, focus on the basics, and make money for the company.
