Beeson decodes these leadership criteria--the unwritten rules--that companies use to make decisions about who gets promoted and who doesn't, and identifies the six core 'selection factors' that are imperative for success at the executive level\* Demonstrating strategic skills\* Building a strong management team\* Managing implementation\* Exhibiting the capacity for innovation and change\* Working across organizational boundaries\* Projecting executive presenceFilled with stories of managers who successfully climbed up the executive ladder-and some who struggled-The Unwritten Rules is an invaluable resource for aspiring executives.
