He has been advising Mr. Dubow on corporate leadership. Mr. Charan has held many brainstorming sessions with the vp's and above.
ReplyDeleteSome of us have spent many hours in a large group with Mr. Charan.
Tom Curley invited him to speak to the 200 or so attendees of the USA TODAY leadership program in 1997. Apparently Curley and a few others maintained a long-running relationship with Cheran afterwards, but have not seen him at 7950.
ReplyDeleteI was part of the '97 sessions; he spent the better part of a day with our group.
ReplyDeleteRam is a great guy and smart as hell. If we are listening to him we are doing welll. And he has been connected to 7950 several years ago but perhaps wasn't actually in the building.
Great reputation. Hard to believe that he’d condone tolerating Gannett’s well-known people skills…that is, if he actually was told the real story about how some this company’s “finest” leaders run their operations. If not, then the company is likely wasting its money and his time.
ReplyDeleteHe looks real familiar. I'm pretty sure he's the guy who owns the 7-11 in my neighborhood.

Maybe he knows something you don't know. He's probably smarter than you.
