In "The
Unwritten Rules: The Six Skills You Need to Get Promoted to the Executive
Level," executive coach John Beeson argues that managers seeking C-level
positions are often left to their own devices when it comes to career advancement.
Although the near extinction of predictable career paths in most organizations is
partly to blame, Beeson states that promotions are often made using the decision
makers' intuition about a candidate's potential for high-level success, making it
difficult for aspirants to figure out exactly what they need to do to move up. Beeson
explores the leadership criteria involved in these decisions by revealing the
"unwritten rules" and examining the core selection factors that are crucial for success
in C-level roles.
