【句子拆分】
主语 Prasad Kaipa and Navi Radjou
谓语 argue
宾语 strengths that today’s leaders are most likely to overuse are what Americans called “smarts”—the sort of skills managers pick up studying at business school or working in consultancies.
【单词解析】

strength
音标
[streŋθ]
中文词意
n. 力量，力气
【语法分析】
本句的主干是Prasad Kaipa and Navi Radjou argue that，that引导宾语从句。该宾语从句的主干是the strengths are what Americans called “smarts”，strengths后面跟一个that引导的定语从句对其进行修饰。破折号后面的名词短语the sort of skills对what Americans calls “smarts”进行补充说明，skills后面跟一个定语从句对其进行修饰。
【译文】
在《从聪明到睿智》一书中，普拉萨德·凯帕和纳维·拉德杰指出，当今领导者往往过度使用的优势就是美国人所谓的“聪明”——管理者在商学院读书时或者在咨询公司工作时学会的技能。
【考情分析】
这句话的嵌套从句特别多，“argue”后面是主句的宾语从句，宾语从句里面“that today’s leaders are most likely to overuse”这个定语从句修饰名词“strengths”，并且这个名词在定语从句中做“overuse”的宾语。宾语从句的系动词“are”后面是一个表语从句，“what”在表语从句中充当“call”的宾语补足语（“call”作动词时接复合宾语--“call sth. adj.”）。破折号后面的补充说明里“managers pick up”做前面“skill”的定语，“skill”在定语从句本身中做“pick up”的宾语。至于“studying at business school or working in consultancies”应该是现在分词作状语，它的逻辑主语是“managers”
