Career Warfare
Author: David F. D'Alessandro
Publisher: McGraw-Hill Companies
ISBN: 9780071462143
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 216
Book Description
From the best-selling author of Brand Warfare and outspoken former CEO of John Hancock David F. D'Alessandro, Career Warfare is a "how to succeed book" for the ambitious person interested in breaking out of the pack and climbing high up the corporate ladder. The premise is simple: It's hard to leave your peers behind and really excel. What sets the really successful players apart from those who never rise to the level of their ambitions is the character they reveal and the name they make for themselves with the people they meet in their working life.This book will offer concrete advice on building the kind of reputation that makes people want to take a chance on you. In D'Alessandro's trademark style, it will also talk frankly and humorously about the absurd nature of corporate life. And it will offer shrewd recommendations to help the sane persons survive the less-than-same aspects of any organization - and eventually, take over the asylum.In the tradition of the best-selling, What They Still Don't Teach You at Harvard Business School, D'Alessandro reveals the unwritten rules for reaching the top of any field. D'Alessandro reveals how business really works and speaks directly to any one in business - and provides savvy advice for every level."Sure you'll need accomplishments to get ahead. You'll need to work hard and be smart. But the competition is stiff. Brains, hard work, and accomplishments are just a minimum requirement. If you intend to succeed, the stuff your mother told you - work hard, be polite, dress neatly, is all helpful. But the biggest mistake you can make is to assume that the business world is rational, and success will proceed in a rational manner from your good performance reviews. Corporations are really just like vertical villages, driven by gossip, intrigue, and anecdote. More than anything else, your reputation determines whether you conquer the vertical village or are defeated by it. The name you make for yourself determines whether you become the mayor - or the village idiot."From one of America's most prominent and respected CEO's, with a best-selling track record, Career Warfare provides object lessons on success for leaders at every level.

Book Description
Winner, 2022 Max Weber Award for Distinguished Scholarship, given by the American Sociological Association's Section on Organizations, Occupations, and Work Winner, 2021 PROSE Award in the Business, Finance & Management Category A behind-the-scenes examination of Asian Americans in the workplace In the classroom, Asian Americans, often singled out as so-called “model minorities,” are expected to be top of the class. Often they are, getting straight As and gaining admission to elite colleges and universities. But the corporate world is a different story. As Margaret M. Chin reveals in this important new book, many Asian Americans get stuck on the corporate ladder, never reaching the top. In Stuck, Chin shows that there is a “bamboo ceiling” in the workplace, describing a corporate world where racial and ethnic inequalities prevent upward mobility. Drawing on interviews with second-generation Asian Americans, she examines why they fail to advance as fast or as high as their colleagues, showing how they lose out on leadership positions, executive roles, and entry to the coveted boardroom suite over the course of their careers. An unfair lack of trust from their coworkers, absence of role models, sponsors and mentors, and for women, sexual harassment and prejudice especially born at the intersection of race and gender are only a few of the factors that hold Asian American professionals back. Ultimately, Chin sheds light on the experiences of Asian Americans in the workplace, providing insight into and a framework of who is and isn’t granted access into the upper echelons of American society, and why.

The Corporate Lattice
Author: Cathleen Benko
Publisher: Harvard Business Press
ISBN: 1422161781
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 218
Book Description
With roots planted firmly in the industrial age, the corporate ladder has been the metaphor used to describe the prevailing one-size-fits-all model for success. At its heart, the ladder is derived from inflexible, hierarchical, organization models in which prestige, individual rewards, information flow, power and influence are tied to the rung each employee occupies. Yet the workplace as we know it is in transition -- evolving away from the linear, one-size-fits-all model of the corporate ladder toward a multidimensional approach that Cathy Benko calls the corporate lattice. This book will serve to widen an organization's strategic lens, representing a fundamentally new way to work and run a company. It offers a framework to help senior leaders and HR directors harness the talent in their company in a way that provides a strategic advantage, not only for recruiting but also for achieving and maintain better individual performance. In the bestselling book Mass Career Customization (Harvard Business Press/2007), Cathy Benko and Deloitte provided the breakthrough MCC dashboard for understanding the important variables of individual employees' career-life profiles, but she also coined a new metaphor -- the corporate lattice -- as a way to think about the changed career landscape. This book delves much deeper into the power of the lattice for organizations, fully exploring its contours and applying it to real-life practice throughout a company. It explores how the corporate lattice model creates value by: 1. Ensuring a flow of talent into and through the organization. 2. Increasing the efficiency of and return on organizational investments. 3. Improving financial and operating results through greater employee engagement. The three-part framework of the book presents specific ways managers and organizations can use The Corporate Lattice to manage talent, measure results, collaborate across teams, engage employees, and reor"
