Synopsis

Why do certain businesspeople show a baffling capacity to stay on top - displaying resilience in bad times and riding the wave in good ones? Education, intelligence and competence - while positive professional attributes - do not guarantee business success. Here, author Thomas Schweich draws on his extensive experience as an advisor and legal counsel to top executives and government officials to glean the thirty secrets that propel people to the top in their fields. And even more important in today's economic climate, how they stay at the top once they get there. As a lawyer, Schweich's involvement with executives usually comes at a trying time for the company, allowing Schweich to analyze why some executives weather corporate storms and some do not. Using over 40 personal interviews with top personnel at Fortune 500 companies, politicians, military officials, entertainment successes and business owners, the book aims to provide an insight into the essential elements of professional resilience for executives and would-be executives and offer solid advice on how to become the invincible executive. Key features include: timely advice for professional resilience in both bad and good economic times; 30 secrets revealed that propel people to success in their field and keep them there; three main parts - the invincible career path, the invincible personality and the invincible management style; interviews with people from top management of major US companies such as executives at Boeing, South West Airlines, PriceWaterhouseCoopers, Bank of America, Chrysler, Marriott, Lucent, MCI and many other Fortune 500 companies as well as political figures such as the House Minority Leader Richard Gebhart, Janet Reno, Bob Dole and Clarence Thomas.
