Description
"There's no such thing as corporate loyalty." "It's up to you to manage your boss." yourself not not to "Train be afraid of getting fired." These anti-establishment concepts may sound strange coming from a man whose positions have included President and COO of Bur- roughs, President of Unisys, CEO of Northern Telecom, and CEO of Braun-all by age fifty. Yet because he put them into practice in man- aging his own career, these and other radical strategies have made Paul G. Stern not only a wealthy man but also one of the country's most respected and widely celebrated executives. Now, in a sophisticated "insider's" volume that goes beyond the ordinary career guides and collections of maxims, this business legend provides ambitious corporate managers with the detailed, comprehensive advice they need to move up the ladder of management to the circle of the elite at the top.
You'll learn how to shape and control your own career; why unwavering, unquestioning loyalty is no help to you-or to your employer. You'll understand how outmoded corporate myths can cripple your career. You'll start using creative tactics to hot-wire your company's sputtering, almost-out-of-gas bureaucracy. Most of all, you'll obtain the perspective and proven techniques of a winner-new thinking that can liberate you. From visualizing your long-term goals, to picking the right assignments, to coping with corporate gamesmen, to the nitty-gritty of hiring and firing...it's all here.
