Recommendation

Scott Eblin's book offers valuable advice to the newly arrived member of the management team about how to navigate in unfamiliar, executive territory. He argues that your success will depend on how you operate at your peak level, and how you reach and maintain that optimal state, rather than on the actual nuts and bolts of getting projects done. He provides transcriptions of coaching sessions with executives in transition and each chapter ends with "ten tips" – a useful summary of the ideas and behavior you'll have to learn to succeed in your new role. getAbstract recommends this manual to managers who want to move up in the ranks, and to executives new and old – for whom its tips will still be useful.

Take-Aways

  • The top level in any company is the executive team.
  • At the executive level, the accomplishments of the group are more important than those of the individual.
  • Focus on the goals of the company as a whole, not just those of your department.
