About this listen

Stealing the Corner Office is mandatory listening for smart, hardworking managers who always wonder why their seemingly incompetent superiors are so successful. It is a unique collection of controversial but highly effective tactics for middle managers and aspiring executives who want to learn the real secrets for moving up the corporate ladder. Unlike virtually all other business books - which are based on the assumption that corporations are logical and fair - Stealing the Corner Office explores the unconventional tactics people less competent than you use to get ahead and stay ahead. It is your proven playbook to thrive and win in an imperfect corporate world.

Stealing the Corner Office will teach you:

  • How incompetent people so often get ahead, and what you can learn from them
  • How to make universally flawed corporate policies work in your favor
  • Why showing too much passion for your ideas can be career suicide
  • Why delivering results should never be your highest priority

These and many more controversial tactics will change the way you look at your career and how you manage projects, people, and priorities. Apply the 10 principles in Stealing the Corner Office and watch your career take off!

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

excellent! its exactly what i needed

It addressed the very problems I'm facing with my management peers and Board.
I now fully recognise my career limiting behaviours and approaches.
Good examples were provided to demonstrate hos points, whilst also providing numerous practical tools to help implement the changes required to get ahead. 10/10. Thank you!!!🙏

Anecdotal, written like a blog post or ebook

Some useful insights and ideas however all of the scenarios used as examples lack any weight as they are invented and exaggerated.
For a book on a similar subject Pfeiffer’s Power is much more rigorous and much deeper.
