Buy This BookFrom 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.

Are You Cornered By Self?
  • Have you ever been passed over for a promotion because you do your current job too well?
  • Have you ever stopped short of applying for a promotion because you didn't think you were qualified, only to learn that you could run circles around the person who got the position?
  • Is the fear of failing stopping you from reaching your potential?

    A few chapter titles:
    * Being Too Good At Your Job
    * Shy About Speaking
    * Running After Titles
    * Fear Of Becoming "One Of Them"

Are You Cornered By Others?
  • Have you found yourself caught in a no-win situation where two managers give you contradictory direction?
  • Have you ever suspected a co-worker of sabotaging you by bad-mouthing you when you aren't around?
  • Did you take a job only to learn it wasn't the job you were told it would be?

    A few chapter titles:
    * The Micromanaging Boss
    * The Sabotaging Co- Worker
    * Torn Between Two Bosses
    * When The Big Dog Is Always Right

Are You Cornered By Industry?
  • Have you ever wondered if your skills weren't keeping up with technology?
  • Is your industry changing in ways that you can't or don't want to embrace?
  • Are you finding that you are not qualified for the position you really want?

    A few chapter titles:
    * Falling Behind The Techno-Times
    * Sidelined By Role Changes
    * Hiring Freeze Leads To Opportunity Freeze

Are You Cornered By Company Culture?
  • Do you feel handcuffed by the hierarchy of your company?
  • Do you feel like you work in a company that doesn't know how to have any fun?
  • Are you held back because you're friends with the "wrong crowd?"

    A few chapter titles:
