Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
"There are two times when you're alone in life: one is when you
die, and the other is when you present to senior management."-Rick
Wallace, CEO, KLA-Tencor Unless you're lucky enough to be the CEO,
you'll need to present your ideas to people up the chain to get
anything done-and those presentations can sometimes be brutal.
Careers and projects can come unwound in a matter of minutes if the
presenter doesn't know the rules at the top level. Tactics and
techniques that work wonderfully with peers, subordinates, and
immediate supervisors suddenly crumble in the tense meeting room
with the "bigwigs." A psychologist by training, Gilbert offers
revelatory insights into the minds of the men and women who make it
to the top-critical information if you're going to understand what
they're looking for from you. He keeps it simple by focusing on
three key imperatives for "speaking up:" 1. know the people, 2. get
to the point, and 3. improvise. Gilbert's research suggests that
67% of middle managers break one or more of these rules. Based on
ten years of research and hundreds of interviews, Gilbert's book is
unique in featuring extensive comments from C-level leaders
explaining exactly what they want and don't want in a presentation,
as well as mid-level managers' stories of triumphs and tragedies
and what they learned as a result. This is a must have book for
surviving the high-stakes meeting.
