Ideas

Self-styled confidant to some of America’s leading CEOs, Charan is known for cutting through the complexity of running a business in today’s fast changing environment to uncover the core business problem. Charan’s real-world solutions, shared with millions through his books and articles in top business publications, have been praised for being practical, relevant, and highly actionable — the kind of advice you can use Monday morning – in areas such as growth, talent development, corporate governance, and moneymaking models for the digital age.

Bio

Charan was first introduced to business while working in the family shoe shop in a small town in northern India, where he was raised. He earned an engineering degree in India, then took a job in Australia. Charan went on to earn MBA and doctorate degrees from Harvard Business School, where he graduated with high distinction and was a Baker Scholar and served on the faculties of Harvard Business School and Northwestern University before pursuing consulting full-time.
