Download The Unwritten Rules: The Six Skills You Need to Get Promoted to the Executive Level AudioBook Free
Maximize your chances to get advertised to the executive level. As predictable profession paths have become extinct in most organizations, professionals aspiring to the C-level job are left to their own devices to determine how to move forward their opportunities. Even in companies focused on talent development, assistance to aspiring professionals is often vague and contradictory. This happens, executive trainer John Beeson argues, because executive promotions are made based on the decision producers' intuitive sense of if a manager can succeed at higher levels within the organization. Beeson decodes these leadership requirements - the unwritten rules - that companies use to make decisions about who gets advertised and who doesn't, and identifies the six core "selection factors" that are important for success at the executive level:
- Demonstrating proper skills
- Building a strong management team
- Managing execution
- Exhibiting the capacity for technology and change
- Working across organizational boundaries
- Projecting executive presence
