Overview

In today's dynamic and fast-paced corporate world, executive careers are more fluid than ever, and so is the executive job market. As an ambitious leader, you have no problem closing a deal or hitting your numbers, but you may find the next step harder to crack. To land the position you want, you need to be clear about your unique value proposition for that specific role. Yet the higher you rise, the harder it becomes to get honest opinions on your strengths and weaknesses. In Show Up to Win, Kelly Kay and Jeff Sanders, partners at executive search and consulting firm Heidrick & Struggles, lay out a road map to help you win that top-level role and move into it effectively. Backed with a wealth of insights from real-life case studies and interviews, this straight-talking book shows what the job search looks like for senior candidates today, what companies are looking for from you, and how you can identify and best position yourself for the role you really want. Drawing on more than three decades of experience and 200 conversations per week with Fortune 1000 companies about executive roles, the authors highlight unexpected perspectives and counterintuitive advice on what makes the real difference between the candidates who land the best jobs and those who remain overlooked.
