After interviewing 2,600 high-performing senior executives, veteran executive consultants Ron A. Carucci and Eric C. Hansen offer an excellent manifesto for new leaders. They used IBM's Watson, one of the world's most powerful analytical tools, to dissect their findings about leadership. They learned what traits, behaviors and actions make good leaders great – regardless of their organization or industry. The result is an up-to-date, indispensable guide to becoming a senior leader and succeeding at the top. The authors' detailed advice – exactly what to do and what not to do as a new high-ranking leader – springs from the aggregation and correlation of thousands of lessons senior executives learned the hard way. Carucci and Hansen pull no punches in this smart set of instructions for new bosses. getAbstract recommends their findings as essential reading for executives moving up.
