 From Cornered To Corner Office is a must-read for any professional who feels stuck or stalled in their career. But even if you think your career is going well, you never know when unexpected obstacles may present themselves - which is why you need to know how to deal with them when they occur.
All of us run into conflicts in the workplace, but most of us have never been taught how to recognize when these barriers are actually hampering us in the pursuit of our career dreams. Can you read the signs and recognize when you are being derailed in your career journey?
Understanding the four natural laws of conflict identified in this book could dramatically change the course of your career.
David W. Hults uses real stories from professionals who found themselves cornered by the unexpected to illustrate the best plans to guide you to career success. Whether you are unemployed, underemployed or just feel that you are in a job that's quickly taking you nowhere, you'll find the stories of these frustrated professionals to be all too familiar - and hopefully, enlightening.
Each short chapter includes usable action steps that can help you navigate your way through a myriad of unexpected career roadblocks.
Not everyone necessarily wants a window view. But no matter what your personal "corner office" goal - whether it's becoming a personal assistant or the president of your own company - From Cornered To Corner Office will provide information and insights to help get you there.
