World-class competitors can now emerge from anywhere–witness the wave of emerging nation players that have clear advantages in their industries–thanks to the mobility of talent, capital, and knowledge. A Google can come from nowhere and grow into a multibillion-dollar business in a few short years, becoming one of the world’s most highly valued companies. There are not only huge opportunities but also great pitfalls that can swallow up whole companies and industries. Think for a moment about the challenges Google has presented to companies in the advertising, broadcasting, and publishing industries, to name just a few. You will be constantly tested for your know-how to lead your business in the right direction.

Know-how is about what you must both do and be to lead your business in what is shaping up to be the most challenging business environment in decades. We need leaders who know what they are doing. Change is always with us, but its current magnitude, speed, and depth is unlike what most people have experienced in their lifetimes.
