5.0 out of 5 stars
A must-read for anyone trying to get up the corporate ladder
Easy reading with lots of great points. Really prepares you for the job search process and once secured in a position, gives you some logical steps to start the corporate climb. After reading many of the chapters, found myself saying "That's true, I never thought of that". The book is more than a guide, its a bible for every executive, young or old.

It's really not very good
This book is really not as good as the 4 or 5 positive reviews would have you believe. It is overly simplistic and provides no information that any MBA couldn't have thought up in 5 minutes. There are two major sections to Beatty's book. 1: How businesses think "today" (really, 1996) and 2: Basics (and I mean basic) on the executive job search. The first...

It's really not very good,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Executive Career Guide for MBAs: Insider Advice on Getting to the Top from Today's Business Leaders (Paperback)
This book is really not as good as the 4 or 5 positive reviews would have you believe. It is overly simplistic and provides no information that any MBA couldn't have thought up in 5 minutes.There are two major sections to Beatty's book. 1: How businesses think "today" (really, 1996) and 2: Basics (and I mean basic) on the executive job search. The first part is pretty useless because as an MBA, you should have your own thoughts and opinions on today's businesses. This book provides nothing worth spending money for. The second part is okay if you know nothing about executive job searching but is much better served by John Lucht's "Rites of Passage". For real insights on Executive career movement, John Lucht's "Rites of Passage" is a must read. In the last week, I have read both books (I'm currently leaving a Big 3 consultancy) and Lucht's book was infinitely more valuable. Good luck.

This review is from: The Executive Career Guide for MBAs: Insider Advice on Getting to the Top from Today's Business Leaders (Paperback)
Really impressed by research but most importantly it was right. Fundamentally changed how I approach my career and work - and it has benefited me greatly.A must have. How great it is to have the facts from the people in the know.

It immediately discredits itself,
By Bekita (NC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Executive Career Guide for MBAs: Insider Advice on Getting to the Top from Today's Business Leaders (Paperback)
In the first chapter or it may even be in the Preface, it says all the books available, if they are more than 5 years old, they are outdated. Its copywright is 1996, since then we have seen the New Economy Boom and now we are in the midst of a New Economy Crash(maybe). Right now, jobs are not as easy to come by, anyway.I would have to say that so far its content is readily applicable, still. Although, we are not quite halfway through it. |
