Description
In recent years, the CEO's position within the typical high-profile company has been receiving more media attention than ever before. The job and paycheck of a CEO can quickly turn a relatively unknown top-level manager into a powerful international business leader with celebrity status. But how do those people get so lucky? What's their secret? Employees and recent graduates everyone are asking, How can I get ahead? How can I become a CEO? This book has the answers.
In HOW TO BECOME CEO, consultant Jeffery Fox has written an insightful handbook of traits to develop for all generations of CEO aspirants--or for anyone who wants to get ahead in today's business world. Open it to any page and find a short, provocative piece of brutally honest advice written in a conversational tone. Each of the seventy-five "rules" focuses on a specific action that should be taken, a trait that needs to be developed, or a prohibition to follow. The words never and always are used frequently. These are smart, no-nonsense business messages that are meant to be revisited in your rise to the top.
But don't think for a moment that this is a cynical book. Rather, it is one of hard-headed idealism that will empower you to develop the qualities that are required of leaders: vision, persistence, integrity and respect for superiors, subordinates, peers, and self.
Anyone looking to climb the corporate ladder will be grateful for Fox's direct, pithy advice-the essentials to follow if you want to reach the top.
