Nancy Lee wrote this book before she met Elliott Jaques and learned about Requisite Organization. The Society includes it here as it may be useful to anyone exploring a career in management or consulting.
Here is the book that every woman who works in the business world has been waiting for . . . and it's a book many men will want to read too.
A unique combination, TARGETING THE TOP is, first, a complete executive handbook, exploring basic management know-how— general information that anyone who wants to be successful in the world of business needs to know. For example, you'll find out about: the different stages of growth of a company; the informal power structures within organizations; the difference between staff and line positions; different managerial styles and techniques. Lee also discusses the professional skills you'll need to get ahead, and how and where to acquire them: leadership skills, making meetings work, assessing your job fit, managing stress and energy, and lots more.
TARGETING THE TOP is also a comprehensive resource book on planning your own career strategy. Using self-testing devices, checklists, as well as case histories from more than 400 successful professional women, Lee helps you figure out what you want, what your career goals are, your business strengths and weaknesses, just how close to the top you want to get, and the costs of a demanding career. Then she shows you how to chart your career over the next two, five, ten years, and beyond, and to draw up a plan you can refer to year after year, to keep your career growing as you do.
