Book Abstract
MAIN IDEA
Why is it some people make it to the top of their organizations while others with equal talent seem to never fully reach their potential? Does it really come down to luck, political savvy or aggressiveness?
To answer this question definitively rather than by anecdotes, a three-pronged research project was carried out:
A database of 1.2 million executive employees was analyzed for recurring factors.
8,000 written surveys were sent out, of which 2,000 were completed and returned by senior executives by mid-2002.
More than 300 face-to-face interviews were carried out over a two-year period to identify thoughts, goals, beliefs and behaviors.
This research program showed statistically that extraordinary careers follow a trajectory which is consistent irrespective of the industry within which these executives worked. The five career patterns which differentiated those at the top from all others were:
"The five patterns are not a simplistic formula for distilling the complexities of a career into a set of rules. Many of us desperately yearn for a simple set of rules for dealing with the complexity of our working lives: Do these ten things, avoid these five.
