Moving from middle management to the executive floor
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
I purchased this book after receiving 360 degree feedback from employees, peers and my vice president. This volume provides practical actions for improving on the competencies identified in the assessment. I am currently using it to build a development action plan for 2009, as well as for the next few years as I work toward achieving my next career milestone of moving from middle management to the executive floor. while the book is described as providing development suggestions for TODAY's executives, I believe that you have to be exhibiting these behaviors before you are ready for that big promotion.
Exceptionally well organized for how Executives need info!

The information architecture of this exceptionally useful guide exemplify the publisher's respect of the material. The guide is resourceful and easy to use. This is not, as one reviewer suggests, a poor book to be compared to "7Habits". The Successful Executive;s Handbook will be a welcome resource addition to any person responsible for the culture, health and profitability of their organization. My copy is dog-eared and comfortingly close to my desk.
The Successful Manager's Handbook for Executives.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
Susan Gebelein and the contributors at Personnel Decisions have taken the ever-useful Successful Manager's Handbook and raised the bar for executives. This book does a good job of addressing the often vague, nebulous, and "fuzzy" skills and behaviors that make senior executives successful.The book is truly written for leaders who are responsible for the strategy, health, and market performance of their organizations, and offers specific development suggestions and advice, as well as references to a good selection of supporting material.I would recommend using this book as 1) a reminder of things that you should not forget to do in an executive role, and 2) a resource for specific advice on how to do better.It makes a good companion (and word of sensible, research-based advice) to the popular books on executive leadership. I find the research-based recommendations written well and concisely--an advantage for execs who are always pressed for time.
