Summary: Excellent Road Map
Comment: This book is absolutely one of the best books I have read on career planning and navigating the corporate world. It demythfies the corporate game and shows who really goes ahead. This is an excellent book for all professionals who want to proactively plan their own careers.

Summary: Telling it like it (still) is
Comment: It's a shame that this book is out of print. Written in 1990, it preceded the web and therefore the possibility to influence a business audience via the additional word of mouth of thousands --in forums such as this.

Paul Stern was a CEO of 4 multi-national companies (Unisys, Burroughs, Braun and Northern Telecom) before the age of 50! His insights into the ethics and discipline of rising to the top on one's own accomplishments, should be required reading for all who would aspire to top management.

These lessons have not changed in the 11 years since it was written and are fundamental enough not to change for several more decades. Because the core concepts repeal pieces of myth like company loyalty, gamesmanship and mentors, the clear writing reveals a different kind of "how to" and a good amount of "don't bother to's" as well.

I can truthfully say that if you want an insider look into the mind of a CEO, no matter what your current occupation or management tier, you will come away with insight and inspiration, if not a course to set-- on your own way straight to the top. Good hunting.
