Summary
Advice from the mentor you always wanted....
“This book is the guide I wrote to help my son - and you - on your journey to the C-suite," says Gary Huff who was CEO of LabCorp Diagnostics, a world leader in lab testing.
Imagine having the inside track on how to become a top-level manager! Want to know what it takes to get to the corner office? How to truly lead as a corporate executive? The qualities you need to cultivate to rise to the top to become an effective leader, even the CEO?
This audiobook takes you inside the upper echelon of corporate America, where a successful CEO reveals the secrets to help you succeed in the world of business, points out common missteps of executives (especially early in their careers), and highlights areas to concentrate on that keep you in the executive role.
When Gary Huff’s college-age son asked him, “So, Dad, how did you get to be a CEO?”, this audiobook was Huff’s answer.
As he says about the evolution of this audiobook, “Driving down the country roads of North Carolina in my silver and black Mustang GT Fastback is one of my son’s and my favorite things to do. During this time, we have wonderful conversations. I don’t know what it is, but we both seem to open up during our drives. It is a time when we both feel comfortable talking about anything that is on our minds.
“We talk about his future, what he wants to do in his life, and how he wants to follow my path to be an executive. During these precious hours with my 19-year-old, I attempt to impart to him the bits of wisdom and lessons I learned from being a successful executive in the hope that he can navigate through challenges that he is sure to face.”
Being an executive is a significant responsibility, but it can be rewarding if you learn from your mistakes, maintain your integrity, seek to understand business practices, and practice fundamental principles.
